Alleluia, Song Of Gladness,
Voice Of Joy That Cannot Die;
Alleluia Is The Anthem
Ever Dear To Choirs On High;
In The House Of God Abiding
Thus They Sing Eternally.

Alleluia You Are Sounding,
True Jerusalem And Free;
Alleluia, Joyful Mother,
Bring Us To Your Jubilee;
Here By Babylon’s Sad Waters
Mourning Exiles Still Are We.

Alleluia Cannot Always
Be Our Song While Here Below;
Alleluia Our Transgressions
Make Us For A While Forgo;
For The Solemn Time Is Coming
When Our Tears For Sin Shall Flow.

In Our Hymns We Pray With Longing:
Grant Us, Blessed Trinity,
At The Last To Keep Glad Easter
With The Faithful Saints On High;
There To You Forever Singing
Alleluia Joyfully.
