O Brothers, Lift Your Voices ============================ w: Edward H. Bickersteth, 1848 m: Welsh Hymn, from "Hymnau a Thonau", 1865 meter: 7.6.7.6D tune: Llangloffan [Verse 1] O brothers, lift your voices, Triumphant songs to raise; Till heav'n on high rejoices, And earth is filled with praise; Ten thousand hearts are bounding With holy hopes and free; The gospel trump is sounding, The trump of jubilee. [Verse 2] O Christian brothers glorious Shall be the conflict's close; The cross hath been victorious, And shall be o'er its foes; Faith is our battle token, Our Leader all controls; Our trophies, fetters broken; Our captives, ransomed souls. [Verse 3] Not unto us, Lord Jesus: To Thee all praise be due, Whose blood~bought mercy frees us, Has freed our brethren too. Not unto us in glory The angels catch the strain, And cast their crowns before Thee Exultingly again. [Verse 4] Great God of our salvation, Thy presence we adore; Praise, glory, adoration Be Thine forevermore; Still on in conflict pressing On Thee Thy people call, Thee King of Kings confessing, Thee crowning Lord of all.
