Alleluia! sing to Jesus! by Rowland Hugh Prichard — Lyrics
Alleluia, sing to Jesus!
His the sceptre, his the throne;
Alleluia, his the triumph,
His the victory alone:
Hark, the songs of peaceful Sion
Thunder like a mighty flood;
Jesus out of every nation
Hath redeemed us by his blood.
Alleluia, not as orphans
Are we left in sorrow now;
Alleluia, he is near us,
Faith believes, nor questions how:
Though the cloud from sight received him
When the forty days were o'er,
Shall our heart forget his promise,
'I am with you evermore'?

About Alleluia! sing to Jesus!
This SATB arrangement of Rowland Hugh Prichard's well-loved hymn Alleluia! sing to Jesus! opens with a clear, unadorned presentation of the melody, soon enriched by the independent motion of the inner parts. The homophonic texture throughout emphasizes the text’s message of triumphant praise and redemption. The English lyrics speak of Christ's reign and victory, his presence with believers, and his role as intercessor and redeemer. The music mirrors this steadfast conviction with firm harmonic progressions and a jubilant spirit, making it a powerful anthem for congregational singing or a choir seeking to express profound faith.
