Come, sing the sweet song of the ages â The song of Immanuel sing ! There comes through the portals eternal An anthem of praise to the King ! Then loud let our carols of gladness Re-echo the song of the skies ; Once more to the tidings of glory The earth in its fulness replies.
2. Foretold by the word of the prophets ; Decreed by the wisdom of God ; We hail the fulfilment of mercy, We praise our Redeemer and Lord.
3. The centuries sing of His coming ; The nations His wonders proclaim ; And ever increasing in glory, We sing of His wonderful name. 4 The song that is sweetest and noblest We sing to the Lord we adore ; And crown Him who comes to redeem us â Immanuel, King evermore !
