Alleluia, I Sing To Jesus

Verse 1: Alleluia, I sing to Jesus!
His scepter, His throne!
Alleluia! His triumphh;
His the victory alone!
Hark the songs of peacefu Zion
Thunder like a mighty flood.
Jesus out of ev'ry nation
Hath redeemed us by His blood!

Verse 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 out hearts forget His promise;
"'I am with you evermore?'"!

Verse 3: Alleluia! Bread of heaven,
Thou on earth our food, our stay!
Alleluia! Here the sinful
Flee to the 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!

Verse 4: Alleluia! King eternal
Thee the Lord of Lords we own.
Alleluia! Born of Mary,
Earth Thy footstool; heav'n 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.

Verse 5: Alleluia, I sing to Jesus!
His scepter, His throne!
Alleluia! His triumphh;
His the victory alone!
Hark the songs of peacefu Zion
Thunder like a mighty flood.
Jesus out of ev'ry nation
Hath redeemed us by His blood!
