1 Hallelujah! hail to Christ the Lord!
For today he passes o’er the way;
He, the Prince, th’exalted Son of God,
Now is passing, hail him while you may.

Refrain:
Hallelujah! hail to Jesus!
Sing with gladness, praise his name forevermore.
Hallelujah! hail to Jesus!
Sing with gladness, tell his praises o’er and o’er.

2 Hallelujah! sing in joyful strains;
For the King of Glory is at hand;
Lift your eyes, behold, he loving waits,
Waits for thee, oh, haste, at his command. [Refrain]

3 Hallelujah! sing hosannas forth!
Tell the news, the wide, wide world around,
Christ is come, and brings salvation nigh,
Free to all, to earth’s remotest bound. [Refrain]

H.," (1) "The love that Jesus had for me" (Love of Jesus); (2) "We shall have a new name in that land" (The New Name).
