"Hallelujah! Let Praises Ring"
                            by unknown author, 1698
                              THE LUTHERAN HYMNAL
                 (St. Louis: Concordia Publishing House, 1941)



        1. Hallelujah! Let praises ring!
        To God the Father let us bring
        Our songs of adoration.
        To Him through everlasting days
        Be worship, honor, power, and praise,
        Whose hand sustains creation.
        Singing, ringing:
        Holy, holy, God is holy,--
        Spread the story
        Of our God, the Lord of Glory.

        2. Hallelujah! Let praises ring!
        Unto the Lamb of God we sing,
        In whom we are elected.
        He bought His church with His own blood,
        He cleansed her in that blessed flood,
        And as His Bride selected.
        Holy, holy
        Is our union And communion.
        His befriending
        Gives us joy and peace unending.

        3. Hallelujah! Let praises ring!
        Unto the Holy Ghost we sing
        For our regeneration.
        The saving faith in us He wrought
        And us unto the Bridegroom brought,
        Made us His chosen nation.
        Glory! Glory!
        Joy eternal, Bliss supernal;
        There is manna
        And an endless, glad hosanna.

        4. Hallelujah! Let praises ring!
        Unto our Triune God we sing;
        Blest be His name forever!
        With angel hosts let us adore
        And sing His praises more and more
        For all His grace and favor!
        Singing, ringing:
        Holy, holy, God is holy,--
        Spread the story
        Of our God, the Lord of Glory!
