Lyrics

Hallelujah! Let prais­es ring!
To God the Fa­ther let us bring
Our songs of ado­ra­tion.
To Him through ev­er­last­ing days
Be wor­ship, hon­or, pow­er and praise,
Whose hand sus­tains cre­ation.
Singing, ring­ing: Ho­ly, ho­ly, God is ho­ly,
Spread the sto­ry of our God, the Lord of Glo­ry.

Hallelujah! Let prais­es ring!
Unto the Lamb of God we sing,
In whom we are elect­ed.
He bought His Church with His own blood,
He cleansed her in that bless­èd flood,
And as His bride se­lect­ed.
Holy, holy is our un­ion and com­mun­ion,
His be­friend­ing giv­es us joy and peace un­end­ing.

Hallelujah! Let prais­es ring!
Unto the Holy Ghost we sing
For our re­ge­ne­ra­tion.
The sav­ing faith in us He wrought
And us un­to the Bride­groom brought,
Made us His chos­en na­tion.
Glory! Glory! Joy eter­nal, bliss su­per­nal;
There is man­na and an end­less, glad ho­san­na.

Hallelujah! Let prais­es ring!
Unto our Tri­une God we sing;
Blest be His name for­ev­er!
With an­gel hosts let us ad­ore
And sing His prais­es more and more
For all His grace and fa­vor!
Singing, ring­ing: Ho­ly, ho­ly, God is ho­ly,
Spread the sto­ry of our God, the Lord of Glo­ry!
