167 - 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
Hath redeemed us by His blood.
2
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”?
3
Alleluia! Bread of heaven,
Thou on earth our food and 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.
