All Hail to the Prince!

lyricist: J. D. Barnes
Composer: Silas Vail, 1874

All hail to the Prince! His king­dom is spread­ing;

O’er em­pires of sin we now her­ald His sway;

His glor­ified cross in its beau­ty is shed­ding

The sa­vor of truth and the bright­ness of day.

Hosanna! Ho­san­na! again and again;

Hosanna! Ho­san­na! for Jes­us shall reign.

All hail to the Prince! whose star-beam of glo­ry

Drew forth to His wor­ship the wise men of old;

They poured forth their of­fer­ings—

O won­der­ful sto­ry—

Of myrrh and sweet in­cense

with trea­sures of gold.

All hail to the Prince! hear child­ren re­cit­ing

Most wel­come re­sponse to the child­ren of old;

The an­gels are drawn by their songs so in­vit­ing

And list­en to hear His great name so ex­tolled.

Reign

reign

migh­ty Prince! Thy king­dom so glo­ri­ous

Shall com­pass all king­doms by land and by sea.

Earth’s mill­ions shall laud Thee—

Thy scep­ter vic­tor­ious—

And swell the loud an­thems of tri­umph to Thee.
