Declare, oh, declare ye His glories abroad;
Proclaim ye His mercy, from nation to nation,
Till the uttermost islands have heard His salvation.
And His mercy endureth forever and ever.
Who went down to the grave, and ascended again;
And who soon shall return, when these dark days are o’er,
To set up His kingdom, in glory and power.
The field and the forest shall lift their glad voice;
The sands of the desert shall flourish in green,
And Lebanon’s glory be shed o’er the scene.
All nature shall see on that glorious day;
For her King cometh down with His people to reign,
And His presence shall bless her with glory in men.
