God is gone up with a shout.
Psalm 47:5.
Arise, ye people, and adore,
Exulting strike the chord;
Let all the earth, from shore to shore,
Confess th’ almighty Lord.
2 Glad shouts aloud—wide echoing round,
Th’ ascending Lord proclaim;
The angelic choir respond the sound,
And shake creation’s frame.
3 They sing of death and hell o’erthrown
In that triumphant hour;
And God exalts his conquering Son
To his right hand of power.
4 O shout, ye people, and adore,
Exulting strike the chord;
Let all the earth, from shore to shore,
Confess th’ almighty Lord.
F. Lyte.
