The Lion of Judah (Crosby)

lyricist: Fanny Crosby, 1878
Composer: Howard Doane

How sweet­ly o’er the mount­ain

Of Zi­on

love­ly Zi­on

The an­them of ag­es

Comes sweep­ing along;

The an­them of the faith­ful

We hear

and

re­joic­ing

Our hearts in glad mea­sure

Keep tune with the song.

O the Li­on of Ju­dah

Hath tri­umphed for­ev­er

O the Li­on of Ju­dah

Is mighty and strong.

Sweet an­them of the faith­ful

We hear it

and

re­joic­ing

Our hearts in glad mea­sure

Keep tune with the song.

O hap­py

hap­py tid­ings

The king­dom now is op­ened

The seals are all brok­en;

Proclaim it afar;

From bond­age and op­press­ion

By Him we are de­liv­ered

The Li­on of Ju­dah

The bright Morn­ing Star.

Hosanna in the high­est

All glo­ry ev­er­last­ing

The cross and its ban­ner

Triumphant shall wave;

Hosanna in the high­est

All glo­ry ev­er­last­ing

The Li­on of Ju­dah

His peo­ple will save.
