Sunday Hymn: Alleluia! Sing to Jesus

Alleluia! sing to Je­sus!
His the scep­ter, His the throne.
Alleluia! His the tri­umph,
His the vic­to­ry alone.
Hark! the songs of peace­ful Zi­on
Thunder like a migh­ty flood.
Jesus out of ev­ery na­tion
Has re­deemed us by His blood.

Alleluia! not as or­phans
Are we left in sor­row now;
Alleluia! He is near us,
Faith be­lieves, nor quest­ions how;
Though the cloud from sight re­ceived Him
When the for­ty days were o’er
Shall our hearts for­get His pro­mise,
I am with you ev­er­more?

Alleluia! bread of an­gels,
Thou on earth our food, our stay;
Alleluia! here the sin­ful
Flee to Thee from day to day:
Intercessor, friend of sin­ners,
Earth’s Re­deem­er, plead for me,
Where the songs of all the sin­less
Sweep across the crys­tal sea.

Alleluia! King eter­nal,
Thee the Lord of lords we own;
Alleluia! born of Ma­ry,
Earth Thy foot­stool, Heav’n Thy throne:
Thou with­in the veil hast en­tered,
Robed in flesh our great high priest;
Thou on earth both priest and vic­tim
In the Eu­cha­ris­tic feast.
