Sound the High Praises

Sound the high prais­es of Je­sus our king

He came and He con­quered

His vic­to­ry sing;

Sing

for the pow­er of the ty­rant is brok­en

The tri­umph’s com­plete ov­er death and the grave;

Vain is their boast­ing

Je­ho­vah has spok­en

And Je­sus pro­claimed Him­self migh­ty to save.

Sound the high prais­es of Je­sus our king

He came and He con­quered

His vic­to­ry sing.

Praise to the Con­quer­or! Praise to the Lord

The en­emy quailed at the might of His Word;

In Heav’n He as­cends and un­folds the glad sto­ry

The hosts of the bless­èd ex­ult in His fame:

In love He looks down from the throne of His glo­ry

And res­cues the ru­ined who trust in His name.
