Sing, O Heavens! O Earth! Rejoice

Sing

O Heav­ens! O Earth

re­joice!

Angel harp

and hu­man voice

Round Him

as He ris­es

raise

Your as­cend­ing Sav­ior’s praise.

Bruisèd is the ser­pent’s head

Hell is van­quished

Death is dead;

And to Christ

gone up on high

Captive is cap­tiv­ity.

All His work and war­fare done

He into His Heav­en is gone

And

be­side His Fa­ther’s throne

Now is plead­ing for His own.

Asking gifts for sin­ful men

That He may come down again

And

the fall­en to re­store

In them dwell for­ev­er­more.

Sing

O Heav­ens! O Earth

re­joice!

Angel harp

and hu­man voice

Round Him

as He ris­es

raise

Your as­cend­ing Sav­ior’s praise.
