"Hallelujah"

[KenH]

A hymn written by Joseph Irons in Zion's Hymns. (in common meter)

"Hallelujah"

1. Hark! how the choir around the throne
Adore their glorious King!
They drink full draughts of bliss unknown,
And Hallelujah sing.

2. They range thro' heav'n's unmeasur'd plain,
And find new cause for praise;
See more of Jesus, and again
Loud Hallelujahs raise.

3. Anon, the pearly gates unfold,
An heir of bliss draws nigh;
Again they strike their harps of gold,
And Hallelujah cry.

4. Another sinner born of God,
Makes heav'n's vast concave ring,
Again they Jesus' love record,
And Hallelujah sing.

5. At last the ransom'd throng, complete,
Is glorified throughout:
Again they bow at Jesus' feet,
And Hallelujah shout.

6. Ere long I hope to join the throng,
Who bow before the King;
And in one everlasting song,
My Hallelujah bring.
