838. Sing Alleluia Forth In Duteous Praise

1 Sing alleluia forth in duteous praise.
You citizens of heav'n. O sweetly raise
an endless alleluia.

2 You pow'rs who stand before the Eternal Light,
Let all your choirs re-echo to the height
an endless alleluia.

3 Then let the holy city raise the strain,
And with glad songs resounding wake again
an endless alleluia.

4 You who have fought and joined the starry throng,
You victors, now take up the eternal song,
an endless alleluia.

5 Your songs of triumph shall for ever ring,
The hymns which tell the honor of your King,
an endless alleluia.

6 Such song is rest and food and deep delight
To saint forgiven; let them all unite
in endless alleluia.

7 Almighty Christ, to you our voices sing
Glory for evermore; to you we bring
an endless alleluia.
