Hail to the prince of life and peace

Verse 1

Hail to the Prince of life and peace, Who holds the keys of death and hell! The spacious world unseen is His, And sovereign power becomes Him well.

Verse 2

In shame and torment once He died, But now He lives forevermore; Bow down, ye saints, around His seat, And all ye angel bands, adore.

Verse 3

So live forever, glorious Lord, To crush Thy foes and guard Thy friends! While all Thy chosen tribes rejoice That Thy dominion never ends.

Verse 4

Worthy Thy hands to hold the keys, Guided by wisdom and by love; Worthy to rule o’er mortal life, O’er worlds below and worlds above.

Verse 5

Forever reign, victorious King! Wide through the earth Thy name is known; And call my longing soul to sing Sublimer anthems near Thy throne.
