Alleluia, sing to Jesus

Lyrics

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 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 heart forgеt his promise 'I am with you evermorе'? Alleluia, bread of angels Thou on earth our food, our 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 Alleluia, King eternal Thee the Lord of lords we own; Alleluia, born of Mary Earth thy footstool, heaven thy throne: Thou within the veil hast entered Robed in flesh, our great High Priest; Thou on earth both Priest and Victim In the Eucharistic feast
