Hymn 246: O hear the song of rejoicing in heaven

E gbo iro orin ayo orun

O hear the song of rejoicing in heaven
The song of joy of the triumph of Christ
All enemies have bowed down their heads for Him
Sin and death and the cold, dark grave also

  • He is prepare to receive the kingdom
    For God the Father, Creator of all,
    He is prepared to receive a great praise
    That's meet for Captain of our salvation

  • His departure was a thing of sorrow
    For His chosen disciples who loved Him,
    Do not despair was the word of comfort
    ''I will go to prepare a place for you''

  • The cloluds received the Lord out of their gaze
    The firmament his the Saviour from view,
    The hosts of heaven burst out in shouts of joy
    For the return of the Lord of glory

  • Do not allow your heart to be troubled,
    Jesus our hope shall surely come again;
    He shall come to take His own people where
    They shall live and reign with Him forever
