Hallelujah! best and sweetest
Of the hymns of praise above;
Hallelujah! Thou repeatest,
Angel-host, these notes of love;
This ye utter.
While your golden harps ye move.
Hallelujah! strains of gladness
Comfort not the faint and worn;
Hallelujah! Sounds of sadness
Best become the heart forlorn:
Our offenses
We with bitter tears must mourn.
But our earnest supplication,
Holy God! We raise to Thee;
Visit us with Thy salvation,
Make us all Thy peace to see!
Hallelujah!
Ours at length this strain shall be.
