Refrain:
Halle, halle, hallelujah!
Halle, halle, hallelujah!
Halle, halle, hallelujah!

1 Oh God, to whom shall we go?
You alone have the words of life.
Let your words be our prayer and the song we sing:
Hallelujah, hallelujah. [Refrain]

I will lead them to rest by the restful streams."

"Walk in the light of life.
All who follow my words shall have life indeed."

he will never die again.
All who follow his way shall have life in him:
Hallelujah, hallelujah. [Refrain]
