272a. Jesus, immortal King, arise

1 Jesus, immortal King, arise;
Assert Thy rightful away,
Till earth, subdued, its tribute brings,
And distant lands obey.

2 Ride forth, victorious Conqueror, ride,
Till all Thy foes submit,
And all the powers of hell resign
Their trophies at Thy feet.

3 Send forth Thy word, and let it fly
The spacious earth around,
Till every soul beneath the sky
Shall hear the joyful sound.

4 O may the great Redeemer's name
Through very clime be known!
And heathen gods, forsaken, fall,
And Jesus reign alone.

5 From sea to sea, from shore to shore,
Be Thou, O Christ, adored!
And earth, with all her millions, shout,
Hosannas to the Lord.
