  1. The gates of hell cannot prevail
    Against the church divine;
    Though sword and fire and unbelief
    And hate and scorn combine
    To trample her beneath their tread,
    She shall arise and shine.
    • Refrain:
      Jerusalem, Mount Zion fair,
      Thou city of the free!
      Thy matchless walls, thy palaces,
      Thy strong high tow’rs we see!
      Thou mother of each holy one—
      Our hearts exult in thee!
  2. The gates of hell cannot prevail,
    The right shall triumph still;
    High over all, in spite of foes,
    Shall reign God’s sov’reign will;
    As waters overspread the seas,
    His glory earth shall fill.
  3. The gates of hell cannot prevail;
    To holy war arise!
    Lift high the banners of the Lord
    And shout to earth and skies!
    Our King Immanuel marches on,
    And hosts of hell defies.
  4. The gates of hell cannot prevail;
    Infernal legions strong
    Must cower ’neath the mighty tread
    Of victors over wrong!
    Oh, lift thy voice, thou church of God,
    In joyous battle song.
