Mediaeval Hymns and Sequences/Triumphe! plaudant maria
Triumphe! plaudant maria.
Sing victory, O ye seas and lands!
Ye floods and rivers, clap your hands!
Break forth in joy, angelic bands!
Crown ye the King That midst you stands,
To Whom the Heavenly gate expands!
Bow before His Name Eternal
Things celestial, things terrestrial,
And infernal.
Sing victory, Angel guards that wait!
Lift up, lift up the Eternal gate,
And let the King come in with state!
And, as ye meet Him on the way,
The mighty triumph greet, and say,
Hail! Jesu! glorious Prince, to-day!
Bow before His Name Eternal
Things celestial, things terrestrial,
And infernal.
Who is the King of glory blest
Effulgent in His purple vest?
With garments dyed in Bosrah, He
Ascends in pomp and jubilee.
It is the King, renowned in fight,
Whose hands have shattered Satan's might.
Bow before His Name Eternal
Things celestial, things terrestrial,
And infernal.
Right gloriously strife endeth now!
Henceforward all things to Thee bow,
And, at the Father's Side sit Thou!
O Jesu, all our wishes' goal,
Be Thou our joy when troubles roll,
And the reward of every soul!
Bow before His Name Eternal
Things celestial, things terrestrial,
And infernal.
