16412. Sing Hallelujah, Sing

1 Sing Hal­le­lu­jah; sing
Glory to God alone!
Bring your obla­tions, bring
Thank of­fer­ings to the throne;
Take words of joy, of com­fort take,
Awake to love, to life awake.

2 The Lord put forth His hand,
He touched us and we died;
Vengeance went through the land,
But mer­cy walked be­side;
He heard our pray­ers; He saw our tears,
And stayed the plague, and quelled our fears.

3 What shall we give to Thee?
O Thou, whose pur­er eyes
Behold ini­qui­ty
In man’s best sac­ri­fice?
Ourselves we give, but rest our claim
On Christ, and know no oth­er name.

4 For Jesus’ sake for­give
Thy peo­ple, Lord, and spare,
To Him and Thee to live,
For Thine and His we are;
Thy quick­en­ing Spir­it gave us breath,
Thy Son, by death, has con­quered death.
