1 It is well in happy hours to sing a hallelujah song,
And the praises of our gracious Lord prolong;
It is better still when griefs invade or ills our hopes destroy,
Live the hallelujah life.

Refrain:
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
This evermore shall be my happy song,
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! All the day long.

2 I will live the hallelujah life because the Lord is mine,
Thro’ the shadows still His wondrous love will shine;
For the storm there is a rainbow and for ev’ry night a star,
In the hallelujah life. [Refrain]

3 I will live the hallelujah life because His grace is sure,
And His mercies thro’ my sorrows will endure;
I am nevermore without a Friend, my Saviour’s always near,
In the hallelujah life. [Refrain]
