ALLELUIA! SING TO JESUS!

Verse 1:
Alleluia! Sing to Jesus; 
His the scepter, His the throne;
Alleluia! His the triumph,
His the victory alone.
Hark! The songs of peaceful Zion
Thunder like a mighty flood;
Jesus out of every nation
Has redeemed us by His blood.

Verse: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 over,
Shall our hearts forget His promise:
"I am with you ever-more"?

Verse 3:
Alleluia! Heav'nly High Priest, [Bread of heaven,]
Thou [Here] on earth our help, [food,] our stay;
Alleluia! Hear [Here] the sinful
Cry [Flee] to Thee [You] from day to day.
Intercessor, Friend of sinners,
Earth’s Redeemer, plead for me [hear our plea]
Where the songs of all the sinless
Sweep across the crystal sea.
