Now let us all raise the strain of praise, Alleluia!. To glorify the King eternal Let this people sing, Alleluia! And in heaven the choirs supernal Keep re-echo-ing Alleluia
They that roam freely thro’ the blessed fields of Paradise Sound the happy lay, Alleluia! The planets wheeling in their courses though the starry skies Join with joy to say, Alleluia.
Ye clouds forth flying, Ye winds lightly sighing Ye lightning, flashing wildly bright,
Ye thunders, echoing from the height In sweet agreement recite Alleluia!
Sea-billows blowing, Ye winter and snowing, Ye tempests and days calmly sweet,
Ye chilling frost and summer heat; Glad groves and forests, repeat: Alleluia!
First let the birds of various kind and feature Their Creator adore and say Alleluia!
Then let the beasts of earth, diverse in nature Sing again all creations lay, Alleluia!
Here let the mountains thunder forth sonorous, Alleluia! There let the valleys sing in gentler chorus, Alleluia! Thou also, jubilant abyss of ocean, cry Alleluia!
nations, praising, exalt with Alleluia! And to their Maker let their thanksgiving resound with Alleluia!
This word is forever The sound most delightful to His hearing Alleluia!. This song faileth never To gain Christs the Kings approval cheering: Alleluia!
Wherefore, ye fellows all, sing ye with rejoicing Alleluia! Also ye children’s small echo, answer voicing Alleluia! Father, Son, Spirit adored Alleluia, Alleluia! Praise be done to the Three in One, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
