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 hath 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 heaven, here on earth our food and 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, heaven 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.
