Joyful, joyful, we adore thee
Alleluya, song of sweetness
Author: John Mason Neale, 1818-66 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Alleluya, song of sweetness,
Voice of joy that cannot die;
Alleluya is the anthem
Ever dear to choirs on high:
In the house of God abiding
Thus they sing eternally.
2 Alleluya thou resoundest,
True Jerusalem and free;
Alleluya, joyful mother,
All thy children sing with thee;
But by Babylon's sad waters
Mourning exiles now are we.
3 Alleluya cannot always
Be our song while here below;
Alleluya our transgressions
Make us for awhile forgo;
For the solemn time is coming
When our tears for sin must flow.
4 Therefore in our hymns we pray thee,
Grant us, blessèd Trinity,
At the last to keep thine Easter
In our home beyond the sky,
There to thee for ever singing
Alleluya joyfully. Topics: The Christian Year Epiphany to Lent; Sunday Before Lent Used With Tune: COLLAUDEMUS
