Alleluya, Song Of Sweetness Lyrics

1. Alleluya, song of sweetness,
Voice of joy, eternal lay;
Alleluya is the anthem
Of the quires in heavenly day,
Which the Angels sing, abiding
In the house of God alway.

2. Alleluya thou resoundest,
Salem, Mother ever blest;
Alleluyas without ending
Fit you place of gladsome rest;
Exiles we, by Babel's waters
Sit in bondage and distrest.

3. Alleluya we deserve not
Here to chant for evermore:
Alleluya our transgressions
Make us for awhile give o'er;
For the holy time is coming
Bidding us our sins deplore.

4. Trinity of endless glory,
Hear thy people as they cry;
Grant us all to keep thine Easter
In our home beyond the sky;
There to thee our Alleluya
Singing everlastingly. Amen.
