  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 Jesu’s conquering love!
    Join all on earth, rejoice and sing;
    Glory ascribe to glory’s King.

  3. All power to our great Lord
    Is by the Father given;
    By angel hosts adored,
    He reigns supreme in Heav’n:
    Join all on earth, rejoice and sing;
    Glory ascribe to glory’s King.

  4. High on His holy seat
    He bears the righteous sway;
    His foes beneath His feet
    Shall sink and die away:
    Join all on earth, rejoice and sing;
    Glory ascribe to glory’s King.

  5. His foes and ours are one,
    Satan, the world, and sin;
    But He shall tread them down.
    And bring His kingdom in:
    Join all on earth, rejoice and sing;
    Glory ascribe to glory’s King. Amin.
