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.

Refrain

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.
