2 Hallelujah! Church victorious,
Join the concert of the sky:
Hallelujah! bright and glorious!
Lift, ye saints, this strain on high!
We, poor exiles,
Join not yet your melody.
3 Hallelujah! strains of gladness
Comfort not the faint and worn;
Hallelujah! sounds of sadness
Best become the heart forlorn;
