Lyrics

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

Refrain

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! Amen.

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

Refrain

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

Refrain

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

Refrain

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