Promise of the Ages

God's saints of old

Through history told

Of the One who was to come

A Son, a King,

a Lamb to be slain

For the sins of all the world

He's the promise of the ages

Lifted up to save us

Jesus Christ, our sacrifice

He's the fount of living water

King and friend forever

Bow before the promise of the ages

In flesh He came

Yet chose to remain

with the outcast and the poor

He bled, He died

Was raised, glorified,

Now He lives forevermore!

Lift your hands and sing 'Hallelujah!'

to the King of all the earth

Raise your voice and sing 'Hallelujah!'

to the King of all the earth

How long until the earth will be filled

with the knowledge of the Lord

When He shall come

When nations and tongues

will be joined in glorious song?
