Lyrics

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Sing His praises loud and clear;
Hallelujah! He is coming,
Shout the tidings, Christ is near!
He the Sav­ior, Lord of glo­ry
Who for us sal­va­tion won;
He, the mighty, mighty Con­quer­or,
He, the ev­er­last­ing Son.

He the Lord of all the ages,
He who arched the gleaming skies;
Yet who walked, a lonely stranger,
Full of loving sympathies;
Ever waiting on our weakness,
Knowing grief and every loss;
Dying crushed and crowned with sorrow,
Bearing sin upon the cross.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Praise for all Thou hast endured;
Hallelujah! for the triumph
Thou, O Sav­ior, hast secured;
So we praise Thee, Lord of glo­ry;
Yea, with all our powers we sing,
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Praises to the coming King!
