Then let us sing, for whom he won the fight: Hallelujah! 5 Let every instrument be tuned for praise! Let all rejoice who have a voice to raise! And may God give us faith to sing always Hallelujah!

Hail, in the time appointed, His reign on earth begun! He comes to break oppression, To set the captive free, To take away transgression And rule in equity. 2 He comes with rescue speedy To those who suffer wrong, To help the poor and needy, And bid the weak be strong; To give them songs for sighing, Their darkness turn to light, Whose souls, condemned and dying, Were precious in his sight. 3 He shall come down like showers Upon the fruitful earth; And Love, joy, hope, like flowers, Spring in his path to birth. Before him on the mountains Shall peace, the herald, go; And righteousness in fountains From hill to valley flow. 4 Kings shall fall down before him, And gold and incense bring; All nations shall adore him, His praise all people sing. To him shall prayer unceasing And daily vows ascend; His kingdom still increasing, A kingdom without end. Used With Tune: FREUT EUCH, IHR LIEBEN
