Text Based On Revelation Chapter 9 (KJV)
And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit,
whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon,
but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.

MESSIAH, PRINCE OF PEACE
1.
Messiah, Prince of peace!
Where men each other tear,
Where war is learned, they must confess,
Thy kingdom is not here.
2.
Who, prompted by Thy foe,
delight in human blood,
Abaddon (Apollyon) is their king, we know,
and Satan is their god.
2.
But shall he still devour
the souls redeemed by Thee?
Jesus, stir up Thy glorious power,
and end the apostasy!
4.
Come, Saviour, from above,
o’er all our hearts to reign;
And plant the kingdom of Thy love
in every heart of man.
5.
Then shall we exercise,
the hellish art no more,
While Thou our long-lost paradise,
dost with Thyself restore.
6.
Fightings and wars shall cease,
and, in Thy Spirit giv’n,
Pure joy and everlasting peace,
shall turn our earth to Thee.
