On the Hallelujah Line

lyricist: J. M. Hobbs, 1890
Composer: John Sweney

O the glo­ry hal­le­lu­jah

Has been ring­ing thro’ my soul

Ever since I came to Je­sus

And His Spir­it made me whole;

Now my spirit

soul and bo­dy

All are un­der His con­trol

On the glo­ry hal­le­lu­jah line.

Glory

glo­ry!

Oh yes

’tis glo­ry in my soul

Ever since I came to Je­sus

And His Spir­it made me whole

I’ve been on the hal­le­lu­jah line.

O the hal­le­lu­jah chor­us

Is a glo­ri­ous one to sing

But the soul’s true hal­le­lu­jah

Is awak­ened by our king;

For the joy of His sal­va­tion

Makes the heart with mu­sic ring

On the glo­ry hal­le­lujah line.

I’m a hal­le­lu­jah pil­grim

And I’ll nev­er hold my peace

Till my bless­èd Sav­ior tells me

Then

then on­ly will I cease

To in­vite poor

hun­gry sin­ners

Come and share the Gos­pel feast

On the glo­ry hal­le­lu­jah line.

Then be rea­dy

faith­ful pil­grims

To go for­ward in the fight

Take the Spir­it’s blade of vic­to­ry

Wielding it with all your might

For with faith in God we con­quer

And we’ll praise Him with de­light

On the glo­ry hal­le­lu­jah line.
