Sing Alleluia Forth in Duteous Praise

Sing Al­le­lu­ia forth in du­te­ous praise

Ye ci­ti­zens of Heav’n; O sweet­ly raise

An end­less Al­le­lu­ia.

Ye pow­ers

who stand be­fore the eter­nal Light

In hymn­ing choirs re-ec­ho to the height

An end­less Al­le­lu­ia.

The ho­ly ci­ty shall take up your strain

And with glad songs re­sound­ing wake again

An end­less Al­le­lu­ia.

In bliss­ful an­ti­phons ye thus re­joice

To ren­der to the Lord with thank­ful voice

An end­less Al­le­lu­ia.

Ye who have gained at length your palms in bliss

Victorious ones

your chant will still be this

An end­less Al­le­lu­ia.

There

in one grand ac­claim

for­ev­er ring

The strains which tell the hon­or of your king

An end­less Al­le­lu­ia.

This is sweet rest for wea­ry ones brought back

This is glad food and drink which ne’er shall lack

An end­less Al­le­lu­ia.

While Thee

by whom were all things made

we praise

Forever

and tell out in sweet­est lays

An end­less Al­le­lu­ia.

Almighty Christ

to Thee our voic­es sing

Glory for­ev­er­more; to Thee we bring

An end­less Al­le­lu­ia.
