Jesus, Immortal King, Arise

lyricist: Aaron Seymour, 1810
Composer: John Burrowes, 1830

Jesus

im­mor­tal King

arise!

Assume

as­sert Thy sway

Till earth

sub­dued

its tri­bute brings

And dist­ant lands ob­ey.

Ride forth

vic­tor­ious Con­quer­or

ride

Till all Thy foes sub­mit

And all the pow­ers of hell re­sign

Their tro­phies at Thy feet.

Send forth Thy Word and let it fly

The spa­cious earth around

Till ev­ery soul be­neath the sun

Shall hear the joy­ful sound.

O may the dear Re­deem­er’s name

Through ev­ery clime be known

And hea­then gods

like Da­gon

fall

And Je­sus reign alone!

O hast­en

Lord

the hap­py time

That long ex­pect­ed day

When ev­ery king­dom

ev­ery tribe

Shall own Thy gen­tle sway.

When all the un­tu­tored tribes

Shall the Re­deem­er own

And crowds of will­ing con­verts come

To wor­ship at Thy throne.

From sea to sea

from shore to shore

Be thou

O Christ

ado­red

And earth with all her mill­ions shout

Hosannas to the Lord!
