Lyrics

Hallelujah! Hal­le­lu­jah!
In His tem­ple God be praised;
In the high and hea­ven­ly plac­es
Be the sound­ing an­them raised.

Hallelujah! Praise Je­ho­vah
For His migh­ty acts of fame;
Excellent His might and great­ness;
Fitting prais­es then pro­claim.

Hallelujah! Praise Je­ho­vah
With the trum­pet’s joy­ful sound;
Praise with harp and praise with vi­ol,
Let His glo­ri­ous praise abound.

Hallelujah! Praise Je­ho­vah,
With the flute His prais­es sing;
Praise Him with the clang­ing cym­bals,
Let them with His prais­es ring.

Hallelujah! Hal­le­lu­jah!
All that breathe, Je­ho­vah praise;
Let the voic­es God has giv­en
Joyful an­thems to Him raise.
