2 Sweet is the soul's thanksgiving after prayer; Sweet is the worship that with heaven we share,
Who sing the Alleluia!
3 To Thee, 0 Lord of harvest, Who hast heard, And to Thy white-robed reapers given the word,
We sing our Alleluia.
4 O Christ, Who in the wide world's ghostly sea Hast bid the net be cast anew, to Thee
We sing our Alleluia.
5 To Thee, Eternal Spirit, Who again
Hast moved with life upon the slumbrous main, We sing our Alleluia.
6 Yea, west and east the companies go forth: "We come!" is sounding to the south and north:
To God sing Alleluia.
7 The fishermen of Jesus far away Seek in new waters an immortal prey:
To Christ sing Alleluia.
8 The Holy Dove is brooding o'er the deep, And careless hearts are waking out of sleep;
To Him sing Alleluia.
9 Yea, for sweet hope new-born — blest work begun — Sing Alleluia to the Three in One,
Adoring Alleluia.
io Glory to God! the church in patience cries;
Glory to God! the church at rest replies,
With endless Alleluia. |
