Author: John M. Neale, 1818-66 Hymnal: Hymnal Supplement 98 #819 (1998) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Hymnal Title: Hymnal Supplement 98 Lyrics: 1 Alleluia, song of gladness,
Voice of joy that cannot die;
Alleluia is the anthem
Ever raised by choirs on high;
In the house of God abiding
Thus they sing eternally.
2 Alleluia, thou resoundest,
True Jerusalem and free;
Alleluia, joyful mother,
All thy children sing with thee,
But by Babylon's sad waters
Mourning exiles now are we.
3 Alleluia cannot always
Be our song while here below;
Alleluia, our transgressions
Make us for a while forego;
For the solemn time is coming
When our tears for sin must flow.
4 Therefore in our hymns we pray Thee,
Grant us, blessed Trinity,
At the last to keep Thine Easter
With Thy faithful saints on high;
There to Thee forever singing
Alleluia joyfully. Topics: Transfiguration Scripture: Psalm 137:1-6 Languages: English Tune Title: LAUDA ANIMA (PRAISE, MY SOUL)
Alleluia, Song of Gladness
