Hallelujah! hallelujah! by Arthur Sullivan — Lyrics
1.
Hallelujah! hallelujah! Hearts to heaven and voices raise;
Sing to God a hymn of gladness, Sing to God a hymn of praise;
He who on the cross a victim For the world's salvation bled,
Jesus Christ, the King of Glory, now is risen from the dead.
2.
Christ is risen; we are risen; Shed upon us heavenly grace,
Rain and dew, and dreams of glory From the brightness of Thy face,

About Hallelujah! hallelujah!
This stirring anthem is ideal for Eastertide celebrations. The text speaks of Christ's resurrection and its implications for believers, urging hearts and voices to raise a hymn of gladness and praise. The SATB voicing allows for rich harmonic textures, while the English text is clear and direct. The music likely reflects the triumphant message of the lyrics, making it a powerful choice for congregational singing or a choral offering during the Easter season, emphasizing Christ's victory and the hope of heavenly grace. Its hymn-like quality also lends itself to broader sacred settings.
