395. Alleluia

Refrain:
Alleluia, alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia!

1 The Word of the Lord lasts for ever.
What is the Word that is living?
It is brought to us through God's Son, Jesus Christ. [Refrain]

2 The Word of the Lord is alive,
the Word of God is active–
it can judge our thoughts,
bring us closer to the Father. [Refrain]

3 "Father of all you are blessed,
creator of earth and heaven,
for the mysteries of the kingdom
shown to children." [Refrain]

4 "I call you friends," says the Lord,
"you who are my disciples.
I make known to you all
I've learned from my Father." [Refrain]

5 "The sheep of my flock," says the Lord,
"hearing my voice, they will listen;
they will follow me, for I know them,
they are mine." [Refrain]

6 "Even if you have to die,
close to my Word keep faithful;
for your faithfulness I will give you
the crown of life." [Refrain]

7 Give thanks to the Lord, who is good.
The love of the Lord knows no ending.
All in Israel, say:
"God's love has no end." [Refrain]

8 The right hand of God raised me up.
The hand of the Lord has triumphed.
I shall never die-
I shall live telling God's deeds. [Refrain]

9 The stone which the builders rejected
becomes the cornerstone chosen.
Praise the work of God
for this marvel in our eyes! [Refrain]
