The Church Hymnal ‎#432

432. Sing Alleluia forth in duteous praise

1 Sing Alleluia forth in duteous praise,
Ye citizens of heav'n, O sweetly raise
An endless Alleluia.

2 Ye Powers, who stand before the Eternal Light,
In hymning choirs re-echo to the height
An endless Alleluia.

3 The holy city shall take up your strain,
And with glad songs resounding wake again
An endless Alleluia.

4 In blissful antiphons ye thus rejoice
To render to the Lord with thankful voice
An endless Alleluia.

5 Ye who have gained at length your palms in bliss,
Victorious ones, your chant shall still be this,
An endless Alleluia.

6 There, in one grand acclaim, for ever ring
The strains which tell the honour of your King,
An endless Alleluia.
