GOD IS GONE UP ON HIGH

[1]
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.

[2]
God in the flesh below,
for us he reigns above:
let all the nations know
our Jesus' conquering love!

[3]
All power to our great Lord
is by the Father given;
by angel hosts adored,
he reigns supreme in heaven:

[4]
High on his holy seat
he bears the righteous sway;
his foes beneath his feet
shall sink and die away:

[5]
His foes and ours are one,
Satan, the world, and sin;
but he shall tread them down
and bring his kingdom in:

[6]
Till all the earth, renewed
in righteousness divine,
with all the hosts of God
in one great chorus join.
