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?
