Lyrics

To Him who for our sins was slain,
To Him, for all His dy­ing pain,
Sing we Al­le­lu­ia! Sing we Al­le­lu­ia!
To Him the Lamb, our sac­ri­fice,
Who gave His soul our ran­som price,
Sing we Al­le­lu­ia! Sing we Al­le­lu­ia!

To Him who died that we might die
To sin, and live to Him on high,
Sing we Al­le­lu­ia! Sing we Al­le­lu­ia!
To Him who rose that we might rise,
And reign with Him be­yond the skies,
Sing we Al­le­lu­ia! Sing we Al­le­lu­ia!

To Him who now for us doth plead,
And help­eth us in all our need,
Sing we Al­le­lu­ia! Sing we Al­le­lu­ia!
To Him who doth pre­pare on high,
Our home in im­mor­ta­li­ty,
Sing we Al­le­lu­ia! Sing we Al­le­lu­ia!

To Him be glo­ry be ev­er­more;
Ye hea­ven­ly hosts, your Lord adore;
Sing we Al­le­lu­ia! Sing we Al­le­lu­ia!
To Fa­ther, Son and Ho­ly Ghost,
Our God most great, our joy and boast,
Sing we Al­le­lu­ia! Sing we Al­le­lu­ia!
