Exult! Erupt! It's all too much!
Our God is King! Our King is Love!
The stars that sang while Earth began
Are singing still, the cry that thrilled
Through all the trillion throng, the song That filled the sky until it rang,
Is ringing still. The faithful sun
That runs his daily race, his face
Agleam with joy, is beaming still.
The trusty wheel that turns the year
From icy winter into spring's
Refreshing, then to summer cheer,
Is turning still, the Father's vow
Still proving, and the darkest rain
By rainbows answered, even now.
And it can never be contained -
It leaps and grows and overflows;
The sweetest gladness sears the heart,
The finest electricity
Facilitates felicity
The mind reclines, the spirit soars,
And laughter shakes the very boards!
A snigger, then a giggle, then
A titter, chuckle, chortle-snort!
Guffaws grow into belly-laughs
And crowing, hooting, cackles, shrieks,
Hysteric fits that last for weeks!
And just when you can take no more,
The Spirit who began it all
Begins to fall, and tears are shed
That drain our sorrows to the floor.
The bells ring for the wedding feast:
Come all, the greatest and the least,
Prepare the way, deck out the halls,
The King has paid the price for all!
Now ev'ry road with flowers pave,
To greet the conqu'ror of the grave!
And ev'ry voice in Heav'n and Earth
Rejoice to hail the Lord of Mirth!
