With all the cherubs with us to sing

Hallelujah!

It rings—and all the stars stand still

Entranced, t’ enjoy the rapturous thrill,

And swear it is, upon their word,

The grandest sound they ever heard.

Hallelujah!

It rings—and from its tongue of flame

It writes upon the sky a name—

The name of Freedom; kneel, Oh earth;
