1 Alleluia! song of gladness,
Voice of everlasting joy;
Alleluia! sound the sweetest,
Heard among the choirs on high.
Hymning in God’s blissful mansion,
Day and night incessantly;
Alleluia! alleluia!
Singing everlastingly.
2 Alleluia! Church victorious,
Thou may’st lift the joyful strain;
Alleluia! songs of triumph
Well befit the ransom’d train,
Faint and feeble are our praises
While in exile we remain;
Alleluia! alleluia!
While in exile we remain.
3 Praises with our pray’rs uniting,
Hear us, blessed Trinity;
Bring us to Thy blissful presence,
There the Paschal Lamb to see,
Then to Thee our alleluia
Singing everlastingly;
Alleluia! alleluia!
Singing ever lastingly.
