Hallelujah!

Refrain:
Hallelujah! and a hallelujah!
Hallelujah, Lord!
I been down into the sea.
Hallelujah! and a hallelujah!
Hallelujah, Lord!
I been down into the sea.

1 O, I've been to the sea, and I've done been tried,
Been down into the sea;
O, I've been to the sea, and I've been baptized,
Been down into the sea. [Refrain]

2 O, Christians, can't you rise and tell,
Been down into the sea;
The glories of Immanuel?
Been down into the sea. [Refrain]

3 If you don't believe I've been redeemed,
Been down into the sea;
Just watch my face for the gospel gleam,
Been down into the sea. [Refrain]

4 I'm born of God, I know I am,
Been down into the sea;
I'm purchased by the dying Lamb,
Been down into the sea. [Refrain]
