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,
You 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! Son of Mary,
Son of God from heaven's throne;
Our salvation you accomplished,
Robed in flesh, our great High Priest;
Here on earth both priest and victim
In the eucharistic feast.
