New Hymn, "King of Heaven!"


Praise the Lord, King of heaven!
Praise our Lord God on high!
Lift your voices unto Him!
Praise Him with all your might!
Blow the trumpets before Him!
Set the cymbals alight,
Crashing thunder around Him
Who brings day out of night!

Lift your praises to Jesus,
God and Lord of the cross,
Who came, faithful, from heaven
Wretches to free from cost!
Pouring out His precious blood
Over our rebellion,
He has cast our sin from us!
Our redemption is won!

One with Jesus in heaven,
We shall share in His joy;
As in His persecution,
We shall share in His joy!
Ring, ye, out all your praises
To the Lord of your life
Who is faithfully turning
Wretches, we, into Light!

Sound the thundering tymp’ni!
Raise the brass o’er the sky
To His palace in heaven,
Shedding tears from your eye!
Feel the joy of the Savior!
Let it run through your veins,
Coursing you unto heaven
By Christ, the only Way!

In the face of wicked, evil, vicious persecution for your faith in Jesus Christ, the Lord God of all that begins to exist, let this be your military march of joyful praise!
