Hark! The Song of Jubilee

lyricist: James Montgomery, 1818
Composer: George Elvey, 1858

Hark! the song of ju­bi­lee

Loud as migh­ty thun­ders roar

Or the full­ness of the sea

When it breaks up­on the shore:

Hallelujah! for the Lord

God om­ni­po­tent

shall reign;

Hallelujah! let the word

Echo round the earth and main.

Hallelujah! hark! the sound

From the depths un­to the skies

Wakes above

be­neath

around

All creation’s har­mo­nies;

See Je­ho­vah’s ban­ner furled

Sheathed His sword; He speaks; ’tis done!

And the king­doms of this world

Are the king­doms of His Son.

He shall reign from pole to pole

With il­lim­it­able sway;

He shall reign

when

like a scroll

Yonder heav’ns have passed away:

Then the end; be­neath His rod

Man’s last ene­my shall fall;

Hallelujah! Christ in God

God in Christ

is all in all.
