Hymn 86: Christians lift your voice in praises

Onigbagbo, e bu sayo !

  1. Christians lift your voice in praises
    On this memorable day
    Sing in gladness, let your voices
    Sing all over vale and dale
    Laud Hosannas, laud Hosannas,
    Sea and streams all join the strain.

  2. Come ye people, raise the anthem
    On the earth, and heaven above
    All creatures above and beneath
    Sing the praise in Jesus' Name
    Praise Him! Praise Him!
    Praise to our king born this day.

  3. Sing the praises, all Africans,
    Though your skin be dark or light
    Sing Hosannas, laud Hosannas
    Right round all our continent,
    Let every king, let every king
    Prostrate fall to Christ our King.

  4. Sing Hosannas, laud Hosanna,
    Sing aloud and shout for joy;
    The stronghold of Satan vanquished,
    For the woman's Seed appears
    Allelujah, Allelujah,
    Great Redeemer, King of kings.

  5. Seraphs lift on high your voices,
    With the Cherubs round the throne;
    Angels and the saints in Heaven
    Join with them ye heav'ly hosts,
    Rejoice with us, rejoice with us,
    Year of jubilee is come.

  6. Laud and honour to the Father
    Laud and honour to the Son
    Laud and honour to the Spirit
    Three-in-One and One-in-Three
    Hear us and accept our praises
    Thine the glory, thine alone. Amen.
