182. Away with Gloom, Away with Doubt!

1 Away with gloom, away with doubt!
With all the morning stars we sing;
With all the sons of God we shout
The praises of a King,
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Of our returning King.

2 Away with death, and welcome life;
In him we died and live again;
And welcome peace, away with strife!
For He returns to reign,
Alleluia! Alleluia!
The Crucified shall reign.

3 Then welcome beauty, He is fair,
And welcome youth, for He is young;
And welcome spring; and everywhere
Let merry songs be sung!
Alleluia! Alleluia!
For such a King be sung!

AMEN.
