7.7.7.7 WITH ALLELUIAS TunesChrist ist erstanden
7.7.7.7 with Alleluias Tunes1.
Songs of praise the angels sang
Heav’n with alleluias rang
When creation was begun
When God spake and it was done
2.
Songs of praise awoke the morn
When the Prince of peace was born
Song of praise arose when he
Captive led captivity
3.
Heav’n and earth must pass away
Songs of praise shall crown that day
God will make new heav’n new earth
Song of praise shall hail their birth
4.
And can man alone be dumb
Till that glorious kingdom come
No! the church delights to raise
Psalms, and hymns, and song of praise
5.
Saints below with heart and voice
Still in songs of praise rejoice
Learning here, by faith and love
Songs of praise to sing above
6.
Borne upon their latest breath
Song of praise shall conquer death
Then, amidst eternal joy
Song of praise their pow’rs employ
Amen
