Hail to the Prince of Life and Peace

Hail to the Prince of life and peace

Who holds the keys of death and hell!

The spa­cious world un­seen is His

And sov­er­eign pow­er be­comes Him well.

In shame and tor­ment once He died

But now He lives for ev­er­more;

Bow down

ye saints

around His seat;

And all ye an­gel bands

ad­ore.

So live for ev­er

glo­ri­ous Lord

To crush Thy foes

and guard Thy friends;

While all Thy chos­en tribes re­joice

That Thy do­min­ion nev­er ends.

Worthy Thy hands to hold the keys

Guided by wis­dom

and by love;

Worthy to rule o’er mor­tal life

O’er worlds be­low and worlds above.

When death Thy serv­ants shall in­vade

When pow­ers of hell Thy church an­noy

Controlled by Thee

their rage shall help

The cause they la­bored to de­stroy.

For ev­er reign

vic­tor­ious King:

Wide through the earth Thy name be known;

And call my long­ing soul to sing

Sublimer an­thems near Thy throne.
