Alleluya, sing to Jesus
His the sceptre, his the throne
Alleluya, his the triumph
His the victory alone
Hark the songs of peaceful Sion
Thunder like a mighty flood
Jesus out of every nation
Hath redeemed us by his blood
Alleluya, not as orphans
Are we left in sorrow now
Alleluya, 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'?
Alleluya, bread of angels
Thou on earth our food, our stay
Alleluya, 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.
Alleluya, King eternal
You, the Lord of lords we own
Alleluya, born of Mary
Earth your footstool, heaven 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
