2 Tell how he cometh; from nation to nation,
The heart-cheering news let the earth echo round:
How free to the faithful he offers salvation,
How his people with joy everlasting are crown'd:

Jerusalem triumphs, Messiah is King!

3 Mortals, your homage be gratefully bringing,
And sweet let the gladsome Hosanna arise;
Ye angels, the full Hallelujah be singing;

One chorus resound through the earth and the skies:
Cho.-Shout the glad tidings, exultingly sing;
Jerusalem triumphs, Messiah is King!

So to rise in glory,

When thou com'st again.
