462c. Sing Alleluia forth in duteous praise

1 Sing Alleluia forth in duteous praise,
Ye citizens of heaven; Oh, sweetly raise
An endless Alleluia.

2 Ye Powers, who stand before th' 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, forever ring
The strains which tell the honor of your King,
An endless Alleluia.

7 This is the rest for weary ones brought back;
This is glad food and drink which ne'er shall lack
An endless Alleluia.

8 While Thee, by Whom were all things made, we praise
Forever, and tell out in sweetest lays
An endless Alleluia.

9 Almighty Christ, to Thee our voices sing
Glory for evermore; to Thee we bring
An endless Alleluia.

Amen.
