God is gone up on high,
With a tri­umph­ant noise;
The cla­ri­ons of the sky
Proclaim the an­gel­ic joys!
Join all on earth, re­joice and sing;
Glory as­cribe to glo­ry’s king.

God in the flesh be­low,
For us He reigns ab­ove:
Let all the na­tions know
Our Je­su’s con­quer­ing love!
Join all on earth, re­joice and sing;
Glory as­cribe to glo­ry’s king.

All pow­er to our great Lord
Is by the Fa­ther giv­en;
By an­gel hosts ad­ored,
He reigns su­preme in Heav’n:
Join all on earth, re­joice and sing;
Glory as­cribe to glo­ry’s king.

High on His ho­ly seat
He bears the right­eous sway;
His foes be­neath His feet
Shall sink and die away:
Join all on earth, re­joice and sing;
Glory as­cribe to glo­ry’s king.

His foes and ours are one,
Satan, the world, and sin;
But He shall tread them down.
And bring His king­dom in:
Join all on earth, re­joice and sing;
Glory as­cribe to glo­ry’s king.

Till all the earth, re­newed
In right­eous­ness di­vine,
With all the hosts of God
In one great chor­us join,
Join all on earth, re­joice and sing;
Glory as­cribe to glo­ry’s king.
