1 A song of praise today we raise,
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
We chant His love who reigns above,
Singing, Hallelujah!

Refrain:
In glad acclaim exalt His name,
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
All glory bring to Christ, our King,
Singing, Hallelujah!

2 From star to star it echoes far,
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
The hosts on high give back reply,
Singing, Hallelujah! [Refrain]

3 We all shall meet at Jesus’ feet,
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
His name adore forevermore,
Singing, Hallelujah! [Refrain]
