1 Alleluia, sing to Jesus! His the sceptre, his the throne Alleluia! his the triumph His the victory alone Hear the songs of holy Zion Thunder like a mighty flood 'Jesus out of every nation Has redeemed us by his blood!' 2 Alleluia! not as orphans Are we left in sorrow now Alleluia! he is near us Faith believes, but knows not how Though the cloud from sight received him Whom the angels now adore Shall our hearts forget his promise 'I am with you evermore'? 3 Alleluia! bread of heaven Here on earth our food, our stay Alleluia! here the sinful Come to you 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 4 Alleluia! King eternal You, the Lord of lords we own Alleluia! born of Mary Earth your footstool, heaven your throne You, within the veil have entered Robed in flesh, our great high priest Yours the blood and yours the body In our eucharistic feast
