Ye choirs of new Jerusalem,
Your sweetest notes employ,
The Paschal victory to hymn
In strains of holy joy.


Ye choirs of new Jerusalem,<br>
For Judah's Lion bursts His chains,
Your sweetest notes employ,<br>
Crushing the serpent's head;
The Paschal victory to hymn<br>
And cries aloud through death’s domains
In strains of holy joy.<br>
To wake th'imprison'd dead.


For Judah's Lion bursts His chains,<br>
Devouring depths of hell
Crushing the serpent's head;<br>
Their prey at His command restore;
And cries aloud through death’s domains<br>
His ransom'd hosts pursue their way
To wake th'imprison'd dead.<br>
Where Jesus goes before.


Devouring depths of hell<br>
Triumphant in His glory now<
Their prey at His command restore;<br>
To Him all power is given;
His ransom'd hosts pursue their way<br>
To Him in one communion bow
Where Jesus goes before.<br>
All saints in earth and heaven.


Triumphant in His glory now<br>
While we, His soldiers, praise our King,
To Him all power is given;<br>
His mercy we implore,
To Him in one communion bow<br>
Within His palace bright to bring
All saints in earth and heaven.<br>
And keep us evermore.


While we, His soldiers, praise our King,<br>
All glory to the Father be,
His mercy we implore,<br>
All glory to the Son,
Within His palace bright to bring<br>
All glory, Holy Ghost, to Thee,
And keep us evermore.<br>
While endless ages run.


All glory to the Father be,<br>
Alleluia! Amen.}}
All glory to the Son,<br>
All glory, Holy Ghost, to Thee,<br>
While endless ages run.<br>
 
Alleluia! Amen.

Ye choirs of new Jerusalem,
Your sweetest notes employ,
The Paschal victory to hymn
In strains of holy joy.

For Judah's Lion bursts His chains,
Crushing the serpent's head;
And cries aloud through death’s domains
To wake th'imprison'd dead.

Devouring depths of hell
Their prey at His command restore;
His ransom'd hosts pursue their way
Where Jesus goes before.

Triumphant in His glory now<
To Him all power is given;
To Him in one communion bow
All saints in earth and heaven.

While we, His soldiers, praise our King,
His mercy we implore,
Within His palace bright to bring
And keep us evermore.

All glory to the Father be,
All glory to the Son,
All glory, Holy Ghost, to Thee,
While endless ages run.

Alleluia! Amen.
