Alleluia! Sing to Jesus (AOV 1/191)

A hymn from the nineteenth century I’d never heard of, by William Dix but usually sung to this tune by Rowland Pritchard. I’ve included the words in AOV, which are somewhat different to other sources of the hymn. I like this version’s delicacy considering the rather triumphalist text.

 

Alleluia! sing to Jesus!
His the scepter, his the throne.
Alleluia! His the triumph,
his the victory alone.
Hark! the songs of peaceful Zion
thunder like a mighty flood.
Jesus out of every nation
hath redeemed us by his blood.

Alleluia! King eternal,
thee the Lord of lords we own;
Alleluia! born of Mary,
earth thy footstool,
heaven thy throne.
Thou within the veil hast entered,
robed in flesh, our great High Priest.
Thou on earth both Priest and Victim
in the Eucharistic Feast.

Alleluia! Alleluia!

Glory be to God on high;

Alleluia, to he Saviour

Who has won the victory;

Alleluia to the Spirit,

Font of love and sanctity;

Alleluia! Alleluia

To the triune majesty
