1 Sing Alleluia forth in duteous praise, O citizens of heaven, and sweetly raise An endless Alleluia. 2 Ye next, who stand before th' Eternal light, In hymning choirs re-echo to the Height An endless Alleluia. 3 The Holy City shall take up your strain, And with glad songs resounding wake again An endless Alleluia.

4 In blissful antiphons ye thus rejoice To render to the Lord with thankful voice An endless Alleluia. 5 Ye who have gained at length your palms in bliss, Victorious ones, your chant shall still be this, An endless Alleluia. 6 There, in one grand acclaim for ever ring The strains which tell the honour of your King, An endless Alleluia.

7 This is the rest for weary ones brought back; This is glad food and drink which none shall lack,-- An endless Alleluia. 8 While Thee, by whom were all things made, we praise For ever, and tell out in sweetest lays An endless Alleluia. 9 Almighty Christ, to Thee our voices sing Glory for evermore; to Thee we bring An endless Alleluia.
