alleluia sing to jesus

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 our hearts forget His promise,

I am with you evermore?

Alleluia! bread of angels,

here on earth our food, our stay;

Alleluia! here the sinful

flee 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.

Alleluia! King eternal,

You the Lord of lords we own;

Alleluia! born of Mary,

Earth your footstool,

Heav'n your throne:

You within the veil has entered,

robed in flesh our great High Priest;

Here on earth both priest and

victim in the Eucharistic feast.
