Hymn 33
Alleluia, song of sweetness!
- f Alleluia, song of sweetness.
Voice of joy that cannot die,
Alleluia is the anttiem
Ever dear to choirs on high,
In the house of God abiding
Thus they sing eternally.
- Alleluia, Church victorious
Thou may'st lift the joyful strain,
Alleluia songs of triumph
Well beht the ransom'd train
Faint and feeble are our praises
di While in exile we remain.
- mpAlleluia may not always
Be our song while here below;
Alleluia, our transgressions.
Make us for a while forego;
p For the solemn time is coming
di When our tears for sin must flow.
- cr Therefore in our hymns we pray Thee,
Grant us. Blessed Trinity,
At the last to keep Thine Easter,
In our Home beyond the sky,
f There to Thee for ever singing
Alleluia joyfully.
