1. This earth shall be a blessed place,<br>
To saints celestial given;<br>
Where Christ again shall show his face,<br>
With the redeemed of Adam's race,<br>
In clouds descend from heaven.

2. Yes, when he comes on earth again,<br>
The wicked burn as stubble;<br>
Thus all his enemies are slain,<br>
And o'er the nations he shall reign,<br>
And end the scenes of trouble.

3. The trump of war is heard no more,<br>
But all their strife is ended;<br>
While Jesus shall all things restore<br>
To order, as they were before,<br>
And peace o'er all extended.

4. Sing, O ye heavens! let earth rejoice,<br>
While saints shall flow to Zion,<br>
And rear the temple of his choice,<br>
And in its courts unite their voice,<br>
In praise of Judah's Lion.

5. Hosanna to the reign of peace!<br>
The day so long expected:<br>
When earth shall find a full release,<br>
The groanings of creation cease,<br>
The righteous well protected.

6. Come, sound his praise in joyful strains,<br>
Who dwell beneath his banner;<br>
He'll bind old Satan fast in chains,<br>
And wide o'er earth's extended plains,<br>
The nations shout HOSANNA.
