With all Thy saints, below, above, Thy triumph over death we sing, And crown Thy cross with wreaths of love, O Christ, our Saviour, and our King! Rejoicing in Thy widening sway, We hail Thy coming, gracious Lord; The dawn predicts the perfect day,— The world redeemed, renewed, restored! Her richest gains Earth brings to Thee:— The East, her reverence and awe,— The West, her boundless energy, Her learning, liberty, and law. Where’er stars shine or dews shall fall, Thine is the power, the kingdom Thine; Thou by Thy cross hast conquered all, O Jesus, Saviour, Love divine!
