Author: William C. Dix, 1837-1898 Hymnal: Worship (3rd ed.) #737 (1986) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: Alleluia! sing to Jesus! Lyrics: 1 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 ev'ry nation
Has redeemed us by his blood.
2 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"?
3 Alleluia! Bread of Angels,
Here on earth our food, our stay!
Alleluia! here the sinful
Flee to you 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.
4 Alleluia! King eternal,
You the Lord of lords we own:
Alleluia! born of Mary,
Earth your foot stool, heav'n your throne:
You, within the veil, have entered,
Robed in flesh, our great high priest:
Here on earth both priest and victim
In the eucharistic feast.
