1. A multitude is gathering

from ev’ry tribe and nation,

Collected by the Christ and his

anointed congregation.

God’s Kingdom has been brought to birth;

We pray his will be done on earth.

This hope is a gift of priceless worth,

Giving joy and consolation.

2. We praise the Christ, our reigning King,

with sounds of jubilation.

This Prince of Peace will be our Judge

and bring about salvation.

We see the joys that lie ahead:

An earth released from fear and dread;

The time for our Lord to raise the dead.

What a time for exultation!
