1. Hallelujah, sing of 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.
2 Haljelujah! 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 ?
3 Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Glory be to God on high;
To the Father, and the Saviour,
Who has gained the victory;
By the all-creating Spirit
Came a son to wondrous birth:
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Triumphs the redeemed earth.
