Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America ‎#417

417. 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 Sion
Thunder like a mighty flood,
'Jesus out of every nation
Hath redeemed us by his Blood.'

2 Alleluia! not as orphans
We are 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'? A-men.

3 Alleluia! Bread of Heaven,
Thou on earth our food and stay;
Alleluia! here the sinful
Flee 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.

4 Alleluia! sing to Jesus,
His the sceptre, his the throne;
Alleluia! his the triumph,
His the victory alone;
Hark! the songs of peaceful Sion
Thunder like a mighty flood:
'Jesus out of every nation
Hath redeemed us by his Blood.

Amen.
