Lyrics

There’s a shout in the camp, for the Lord is here,
Hallelujah! praise His name.
To the feast of His love we again draw near,
Praise, oh, praise His name.

Refrain

Room for the mil­lions! room for all!
Hallelujah! praise His name!
Come to the ban­quet, great and small,
Praise, oh, praise His name.

There’s a shout in the ranks of the King of kings,
Hallelujah! praise His name;
While we drink at the rock from the liv­ing springs
Praise, oh, praise His name.

Refrain

There’s a shout in the camp while our souls re­peat
Hallelujah! praise His name;
There is room for the world at the Sav­ior’s feet,
Praise, oh, praise His name.
