Representative Text

1 Sons of Zion, raise your songs;
Praise to Zion’s King belongs;
His, the Victor’s crown and fame;
Glory to the Saviour’s name!

2 Sore the strife, but rich the prize,
Precious in the Victor’s eyes;
Glorious is the work achieved,
Satan vanquished, man relieved!

3 Sing we then the Victor’s praise;
Place the crown upon His brow;
Bid Him welcome to His throne;
He is worthy, he alone!

4 Place the crown upon His brow;
Every knee to Him shall bow;
Him the brightest seraph sings;
Heav’n proclaims Him “King of kings!”
