1. Al- le- lu- ia! sing to Je- sus! His the scep- ter, His the throne. Al- le- lu- ia! His the tri- umph, His the vic- to- ry a- lone. Hark! the songs of peace- ful Zi- on thun- der like a might- y flood. Je- sus out of ev- ery na- tion has re- deemed us by His blood.
2. Al- le- lu- ia! not as or- phans are we left in sor- row now; Al- le- lu- ia! He is near us, faith be- lieves, nor ques- tions how; Though the cloud from sight re- ceived Him when the for- ty days were o'er Shall our hearts for- get His pro- mise, "I am with you ev- er- more"?
3. Al- le- lu- ia! bread of an- gels, Thou on earth our food, our stay; Al- le- lu- ia! here the sin- ful flee to Thee from day to day: Int- er- ces- sor, Friend of sin- ners, Earth's Re- deem- er, plead for me, Where the songs of all the sin- less sweep ac- ross the crys- tal sea.
4. Al- le- lu- ia! King e- ter- nal, Thee the Lord of lords we own; Al- le- lu- ia! born of Mar- y, Earth Thy foot- stool, Hea- ven Thy throne: Thou with- in the veil hast en- tered, robed in flesh our great High Priest; Thou on earth both priest and vic- tim in the Eu- char- ist- ic feast.
