​1 Our song of praise to God ascend, And there with angels’ voices blend. The day of gladness now is here; Sing hallelujah with good cheer. Hallelujah! 2 From heaven, in the dark of night, He came and brought eternal light. Behold now how this light divine Throughout this pilgrim’s dale doth shine. Hallelujah! 3 And in the Father’s image pure He came earth’s trials to endure. He leads us with a gentle hand To that long cherished, happy land. Hallelujah! 4 He, who in glory there doth reign, Did dwell on earth as humble man; That through His noble sacrifice, We find the path to paradise. Hallelujah! 5 And when our days here are complete, As brethren, we our Lord shall meet, And be transformed before His sight To glory and celestial light. Hallelujah!
