Song Lyrics
[Verse 1] Hills of the north, rejoice; River and mountain spring, Hark to the advent voice; Valley and lowland, sing; Though absent long, your Lord is nigh; He judgement brings and victory. [Verse 2] Isles of the southern seas, Deep in your coral caves Pent be each warring breeze, Lulled be your restless waves: He comes to reign with boundless sway, And makes your wastes his great highway. [Verse 3] Lands of the East, awake, Soon shall your sons be free; The sleep of ages break, And rise to liberty. On your far hills, long cold and grey, Has dawned the everlasting day. [Verse 4] Shores of the utmost West, Ye that have waited long, Unvisited, unblessed, Break forth to swelling song; High raise the note, that Jesus died, Yet lives and reigns, the Crucified. [Verse 5] Shout, while ye journey home; songs be in every mouth; Lo, from the North we come, From East, and West, and South. City of God, the bond are free, We come to live and reign in thee! [Verse 1] Hills of the north, rejoice; River and mountain spring, Hark to the advent voice; Valley and lowland, sing; Though absent long, your Lord is nigh; He judgement brings and victory. [Verse 2] Isles of the southern seas, Deep in your coral caves Pent be each warring breeze, Lulled be your restless waves: He comes to reign with boundless sway, And makes your wastes his great highway. [Verse 3] Lands of the East, awake, Soon shall your sons be free; The sleep of ages break, And rise to liberty. On your far hills, long cold and grey, Has dawned the everlasting day. [Verse 4] Shores of the utmost West, Ye that have waited long, Unvisited, unblessed, Break forth to swelling song; High raise the note, that Jesus died, Yet lives and reigns, the Crucified. [Verse 5] Shout, while ye journey home; songs be in every mouth; Lo, from the North we come, From East, and West, and South. City of God, the bond are free, We come to live and reign in thee!
