1 Hallelujah! song of triumph,
Triumph over death and hell;
Hallelujah! song of triumph,
Greater far than tongue may tell.

2 Hallelujah! song of triumph,
Christ, who came the lost to save,
Hallelujah! now hath risen,
Mighty Conqueror o’er the grave.

3 Hallelujah! Holy angels
Came and rolled away the stone;
Hallelujah! now no longer
Death can claim Him for his own.

4 Hallelujah! Christ hath broken
Bars that none could break before;
Hallelujah! Death defeated,
Sinks to rise again no more.

5 Hallelujah! song of triumph,
Loud through all creation rolls;
Hallelujah! men and angels
Sing the song of ransomed souls.

Author: Godfrey Thring

Godfrey Thring (b. Alford, Somersetshire, England, 1823; d. Shamley Green, Guilford, Surrey, England, 1903) was born in the parsonage of Alford, where his father was rector. Educated at Balliol College, Oxford, England, he was ordained a priest in the Church of England in 1847. After serving in several other parishes, Thring returned to Alford and Hornblotten in 1858 to succeed his father as rector, a position he retained until his own retirement in 1893. He was also associated with Wells Cathedral (1867-1893). After 1861 Thring wrote many hymns and published several hymnals, including Hymns Congregational (1866), Hymns and Sacred Lyrics (1874), and the respected A Church of England Hymn Book Adapted to the Daily Services of the Church… Go to person page >
