1. O be glad, all na- tions on Earth, Come let Je- sus' Name be praised; He is crowned, the King of glo- ry, At God's right hand He is raised. An- gels bow- ing down be- fore Him, Sing- ing with the heav'n- ly throng; El- ders cast- ing crowns be- fore Him, Sing- ing an e- ter- nal song.
 
2. Great and mar- vel- ous are Your works, Just and true are all Your ways; All the na- tions bow in wor- ship, King of kings, Your Name they praise. An- gels bow- ing down be- fore Him, Sing- ing with the heav'n- ly throng; El- ders cast- ing crowns be- fore Him, Sing- ing an e- ter- nal song.
 
3. When shall Heav'n and Earth to- geth- er, Walk be- fore the Lamb, its Light? When shall all the saints be ga- thered, and that Day shall end the night? An- gels bow- ing down be- fore Him, Sing- ing with the heav'n- ly throng; El- ders cast- ing crowns be- fore Him, Sing- ing an e- ter- nal song.
 
4. Lo, that day shall come with glo- ry, When Christ comes with trum- pet sound; Then the saints will cease their groan- ing, Nev- er more by death's chains bound. Let us all bow down be- fore Him, Sing, O sing th'e- ter- nal song; Work in hope un- til we meet Him, And we join the heav'n- ly throng.
