167 ~ Alleluia Sing to Jesus


1

Alleluia! sing to Jesus! His the scepter, 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.

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, 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.
