The Universal Anthem

Verse 1

When shall the voice of singing Flow joyfully along? When hill and valley, ringing With one triumphant song, Proclaim the contest ended, And Him who once was slain, Again to earth descended, In righteousness to reign? Again to earth descended, In righteousness to reign.

Verse 2

Then from the craggy mountains The sacred shout shall fly; And shady vales and fountains Shall echo the reply. High tower and lowly dwelling Shall send the Chorus round, All hallelujah swelling In one eternal sound!
