Author: William Chatterton Dix, 1837-1898 Hymnal: CBOW1994 #426 (1994) Lyrics: 1 Alleluia! Sing to Jesus!
His the scepter, his the throne;
Alleluia! His the triumph,
His the victory alone;
Hark! the songs of peaceful Sion
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 heaven,
Here on earth our food and stay!
Alleluia! Here the sinful
Turn to you from day to day:
Intercessor, friend of sinners,
Earth's Redeemer, plead for us
Where the voices of the blessed
Join the chant victorious.
4 Alleluia! King eternal,
You are Lord of lords alone.
Alleluia! Born of Mary,
Earth your footstool, heav'n your throne:
You within the veil have entered,
Robed in flesh, our great high priest;
You on earth, both priest and victim,
In the eucharistic feast. Topics: Ascension of the Lord; Christ the King; Dying and Rising with Christ; Jesus; Praise Scripture: Revelation 5:9 Languages: English Tune Title: HYFRYDOL
Alleluia! Sing to Jesus!
