Hallelujah! sing to Jesus


Hallelujah! sing to Jesus,
his the sceptre, his the throne;
hallelujah! his the triumph,
his the victory alone;
hark, the songs of peaceful Zion
thunder like a mighty flood;
'Jesus out of every nation
hath redeemed us by his blood.'

Hallelujah! not as orphans,
are we left in sorrow now;
hallelujah! he is near us,
faith believes, nor questions how;
though the cloud from sight received him
when the forty days were o'er,
shall our hearts forget his promise,
'I am with you evermore'?

Hallelujah! bread of heaven,
Thou on earth our food, our stay;
hallelujah! here the sinful
flee to thee from day to day;
intercessor, friend of sinners,
earth's redeemer, plead for me
where the songs of all the sinless
sweep across the crystal sea.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah,
Glory be to God on high;
to the Father, and the Saviour,
Who has gained the victory:
Glory to the Holy spirit,
Fount of love and sanctity;
Hallelujah! hallelujah!
To the triune Majesty.
