Shout aloud, ye hosts victorious, Conquer'rs in His worthy cause, Spare ye not the homage due Him, Look not for the world’s applause.

Prince of peace, o’er death victorious, Countless hosts their voices raise, Hear the cry from the walls of Zion, "Let the Lord be praised."

Prince of peace, o’er death victorious, Countless hosts their voices raise, Hear the cry from the walls of Zion, "Let the Lord be praised."
