Lyrics

We a band of faith­ful work­ers,
In the ar­my of the Lord;
Jesus is our cap­tain,
And we’re trust­ing in His Word;
Tho’ He died up­on the cross,
Yet He lives again to­day,
Glory, glo­ry, hal­le­lu­jah!
Men and an­gels say.

Refrain

Glory, hal­le­lu­jah!
Glory, hal­le­lu­jah!
Shout, O shout the glad re­frain!
Glory, hal­le­lu­jah!
Glory, hal­le­lu­jah!
Jesus lives again.
He lives again!

He has tri­umphed ov­er dark­ness,
And as­cend­ed up on high;
Angel bands are shout­ing
Hallelujah thro’ the sky!
Let our voic­es join the chor­us,
Sending back the glad re­frain,
Glory, glo­ry, hal­le­lu­jah!
Jesus lives again!
