Lyrics

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! King eternal, 

You the Lord of lords we own. 

Alleluia! Born of Mary, 

Earth your footstool, 

heaven your throne: 

You within the veil have entered, 

robed in flesh, our great High Priest; 

Here on earth both Priest and Victim 

in the Eucharistic feast. 

Alleluia! Alleluia! 

Glory be to God on high; 

Alleluia to the Savior 

who has won the victory; 

Alleluia to the Spirit, 

Font of love and sanctity; 

Alleluia! Alleluia! 

To the triune majesty.
