Author: William C. Dix Hymnal: Hymns for the Living Church #174 (1974) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Alleluia! sing to Jesus,
His the scepter, 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 every nation
Hath 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! 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.
Amen. Topics: Ascension and Reign; Christ Advocate; Christ Ascension; Christ Ever-living; Christ Reign Scripture: Matthew 11:19 Languages: English Tune Title: HYFRYDOL
