Sing Hallelujah, Sing

lyricist: James Montgomery, 1854
Composer: John Dar­wall, 1770

Sing Hal­le­lu­jah; sing

Glory to God alone!

Bring your obla­tions

bring

Thank of­fer­ings to the throne;

Take words of joy

of com­fort take

Awake to love

to life awake.

The Lord put forth His hand

He touched us and we died;

Vengeance went through the land

But mer­cy walked be­side;

He heard our pray­ers; He saw our tears

And stayed the plague

and quelled our fears.

What shall we give to Thee?

O Thou

whose pur­er eyes

Behold ini­qui­ty

In man’s best sac­ri­fice?

Ourselves we give

but rest our claim

On Christ

and know no oth­er name.

For Jesus’ sake for­give

Thy peo­ple

Lord

and spare

To Him and Thee to live

For Thine and His we are;

Thy quick­en­ing Spir­it gave us breath

Thy Son

by death

has con­quered death.
