Alleluia! Sing to Jesus!

lyricist: William Dix, 1867
Composer: Rowland Prichard, 1844

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.

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?

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

Heav’n 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.
