Alleluia! Sing to Jesus! ======================== w: William Chatterton Dix m: Rowland H. Prichard Tune: Hyfrydol Meter: 8.7.8.7D [Verse 1] Alleluia! sing to Jesus! His the scepter, his the throne; Alleluia! his the triumph, His the victory alone; Hark! the songs of peaceful Zion Thunder like a mighty flood; Jesus out of ev'ry nation Has redeemed us by his blood. [Verse 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"? [Verse 3] Alleluia! Bread of Angels, Here on earth our food, our stay! Alleluia! here the sinful Flee to you from day to day; Intercessor, friend of sinners, Earth's redeemer, plead for me, Where the songs of all the sinless Sweep across the crystal sea. [Verse 4] Alleluia! King eternal, You the Lord of lords we own; Alleluia! born of Mary, Earth your footstool, heav'n your throne; You, within the veil, have entered, Robed in flesh, our great high priest; Here on earth both priest and victim In the eucharistic feast.
