John Wesley,
Earth, rejoice, our Lord is King
(1876)
“ Though the sons of night blaspheme, More there are with us than them; God with us, we cannot fear; Fear, ye fiends, for Christ is here! Lo! to faith's enlightened sight, All the mountain flames with light, Hell is nigh, but God is nigher, Circling us with hosts of fire. Christ the Saviour is come down, Points us to the victor's crown, Bids us take our seats above, More than conquerors in his love. This work was published before January 1, 1928, and is in the public domain worldwide because the author died at least 100 years ago. ”
