The Bright Array ‎#78

78. Halleluja!

1 Hallelujah! song of gladness,
Song of everlasting joy!
Hallelujah! song the sweetest
That can angel hosts employ!
Hallelujah! hallelujah!
Hallelujah! praise the Lord!
Round the throne the angels gather,
Singing praise without alloy.

2 Hallelujah! church victorious,
Thou canst sing this joyful strain;
Hallelujah! songs of triumph
Well befit the ransomed train;
Hallelujah! hallelujah!
Hallelujah! praise the Lord!
We our song must raise in sadness,
While in exile we remain.

3 Hallelujah! supplication,
God of grace, we raise to Thee;
Hallelujah! in Thy kingdom
Hallelujah! hallelujah!
Hallelujah! praise the Lord!
Make us all Thy joy to see;
Then we’ll sing our Hallelujah,—
Sing to all eternity.
