Away with gloom, away with doubt by Robert George Thompson — Lyrics
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.
Away with death, and welcome life;
in him we died and live again:
and welcome peace, away with strife,

About Away with gloom, away with doubt
This hymn by Robert George Thompson, set for SATB choir, offers a jubilant expression of Christian faith. The text urges the setting aside of sorrow and uncertainty, instead embracing the joy of God's kingship and resurrection. It speaks of overcoming death through Christ and welcoming his reign with peace and beauty. The soaring Alleluias and calls for merry songs underscore the triumphant message, making it suitable for occasions celebrating new beginnings, victory, or Eastertide.
