Praise for the Lord (Expanded Edition) ‎#30

30. Alleluia! Sing to Jesus!

1 Alleluia! Sing to Jesus!
His the sceptre, His the throne;
Alleluia! His the triumph,
His the victory alone.
Hark! The songs of peaceful Zion
Thunder like a mighty flood;
Jesus, out of ev'ry nation,
Has redeemed us by His blood.

2 Alleluia! Not as orphans
Are we left in sorrow now;
Alleluia! 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 Alleluia! Heav'nly High Priest,
Thou on earth our help, our stay;
Alleluia! Hear the sinful
Cry to Thee from day to day.
Intercessor, Friend of sinners,
Earth's Redeemer, plead for me.
Where the songs of all the sinless
Sweep across the crystal sea.
