| 1 | Sing Alleluia forth in | duteous praise, O | citizens of heaven, and | sweetly raise |
2 | Ye next who stand before the E-|-ternal Light, In | hymning choirs re-echo | to the height |
|||||
| An | endless Alle-|-luia! | An | endless Alle-|-luia! | |||||||
| 3 | The Holy City shall take | up your strain, |
4 | Ye who have gained your palms at | length in |
|||||
| And | with glad songs resounding | wake | bliss, | |||||||
| again | Vic-|-torious ones, your chant shall | be of this — | |||||||
| An | endless Alle-|-luia! | An | endless Alle-|-luia! | |||||||
| 5 | There, in one grand acclaim, for | ever ring The | strains which tell the honour of your King, |
6 | This is the rest for weary | ones brought back, This | is the food and drink that | none shall lack, |
|||||
| An | endless Alle-|-luia! | An | endless Alle-|-luia! | |||||||
| 7 | While Thee, by whom all things were | made |
8 | To Thee, Eternal Son, our | voices sing; | |||||
| we praise | With them, O Holy Ghost, to | Thee we bring | |||||||
| For | ever, and tell out in | sweetest lays | An | endless Alle-|-luia! | |||||||
| An | endless Alle-|-luia! | ||||||||
