Alleluia, Song of Gladness
Author: John M. Neale, 1818-66 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 97 hymnals Topics: Transfiguration Lyrics: 1 Alleluia, song of gladness,
Voice of joy that cannot die;
Alleluia is the anthem
Ever raised by choirs on high;
In the house of God abiding
Thus they sing eternally.
2 Alleluia, thou resoundest,
True Jerusalem and free;
Alleluia, joyful mother,
All thy children sing with thee,
But by Babylon's sad waters
Mourning exiles now are we.
3 Alleluia cannot always
Be our song while here below;
Alleluia, our transgressions
Make us for a while forego;
For the solemn time is coming
When our tears for sin must flow.
4 Therefore in our hymns we pray Thee,
Grant us, blessed Trinity,
At the last to keep Thine Easter
With Thy faithful saints on high;
There to Thee forever singing
Alleluia joyfully. Scripture: Psalm 137:1-6 Used With Tune: LAUDA ANIMA (PRAISE, MY SOUL) Text Sources: Latin hymn, 11th cent.
Alleluia, Song of Gladness
Once on a mountain-top
Author: Michael Hewlett (b. 1916) Meter: 6.6.8.5.6.6.8.4 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Transfiguration Lyrics: 1 Once on a mountain-top
there stood three startled men
who saw the veil of nature drop
and heaven shine in.
Their friend of every day,
the face they knew for his,
they saw for one half-hour the way
he always is.
2 Yet men have lived and died
and found of God no trace.
'Thou art a God' (the prophet cried)
'who hidest thy face.'
The earth lies all explored,
the heavens are ours to climb;
and still no man has seen his God
at any time.
3 And minds that learn to scan
creation like a book
say nothing lives outside their plan
and so never look.
O Lord of hidden light,
forgive us who despise
the things which lie beyond our sight,
and give us eyes. Used With Tune: TRANSFIGURATION

The God of all creation,
The God of power, the God of love,
The God of our salvation;
With healing balm my soul he fills,
And ev'ry faithless murmur stills:
To God all praise and glory.
2 What God's almighty power has made,
His gracious mercy keeping;
By morning glow or evening shade
His watchful eye ne'er sleeping;
Within the kingdom of his might,
Lo! all is just and all is right:
To God all praise and glory.
3 Then all my gladsome way along,
I sing aloud your praises,
That all may hear the grateful song
My voice unwearied raises;
Be joyful in the Lord, my heart,
Both soul and body sing your part:
To God all praise and glory.
4 Let all who name Christ's holy name,
Give God all praise and glory;
All you who own his power, proclaim
Aloud the wondrous story!
Cast each false idol from its throne,
The Lord is God, and he alone:
To God all praise and glory. Scripture: 1 Chronicles 16:25-36 Used With Tune: MIT FREUDEN ZART
