The news of his grace on the breezes is gliding,

And nations are owning his sway.

2 And now thro’ the darkness of earth’s gloomy regions,

The wheels of his chariot are rolling sublime;

His banners unfolding his own true religion,

Dispelling the errors of time.

3 Behold a bright angel from heaven descending,

High lifting his trumpet, hosannas to raise:

“Hail, Son of the Highest! let every knee bending,

Adore thee with offerings of praise.
