Original text and translations

English text 1. Loud to the Prince of heaven Your cheerful voices raise; To him your vows be given, And fill his courts with praise; With conscious worth All clad in arms, All bright in charms He sallies forth. 2. Gird on thy conquering sword, Ascend thy shining car, And march, almighty Lord To wage thy holy war. Before his wheels, In glad surprise, Ye valleys rise, And sink, ye hills.

3. Fair truth, and smiling love And injured righteousness In thy retinue move, And seek from thee redress; Thou in their cause Shalt prosperous ride, And far and wide Dispense thy laws. 4. Before thine awful face Millions of foes shall fall, The captives of thy grace, That grace, which conquers all: The world shall know, Great King of kings, What wondrous things Thine arm can do.

5. Here to my willing soul Bend thy triumphant way; Here every foe control, And all thy power display: My heart, thy throne, Blest Jesus, see, Bows low to thee, To thee alone.
