1 THE strain upraise of joy and praise, Alle- | lu-ia !
To the glory of their king shall the ransomed people sing,

2 And the choirs that dwell on high,

Alle- | luia ! || Alle- | luia !

Shall re-echo through the sky, || Alle- | luia ! || Alle- | luia !

3 They in the rest of | Paradise who dwell,

The blessed ones with joy the chorus swell, || Alle- | luia ! || Alle- | luia !

4 The planets glitt'ring on their | heavenly way,

The shining constellations, | join and say, || Alle- | luia ! || Alle- | luia !

5 Ye clouds that onward sweep, ye winds on | pinions light,
Ye thunders, echoing loud and deep, ye lightnings, wildly bright,

In sweet con- sent unite | Your Alle- | luia !

6 Ye floods and ocean billows, ye storms and | winter snow,
Ye days of cloudless beauty, hoar frost, and summer glow,

|| Ye groves that wave in spring, and glorious forests sing, || Alle- | luia !

7 First let the birds with painted | plumage gay,

Exalt their great Creator's | praise and say, || Alle- | luia ! || Alle- | luia !

8 Then let the beasts of earth, with varying strain,

Join in creation's hymn and | cry again, || Alle- | luia ! || Alle- | luia !

There let the valleys sing in gentler | chorus, || Alle- | luia!

So let it be on earth displayed, Till Thou art here, as there, obeyed.

2 O God, my heart is fixed; 't is bent
Its thankful tribute to present;
And, with my heart, my voice I'll raise
To Thee, my God, in songs of praise.

LOWELL MASON, arr.

1. God e-ter-nal, Lord of all! Lowly at Thy feet we fall: All the world doth worship Thee;

We a-midst the throng would be,

All the ho-ly an-gels cry, Hail, thrice ho-ly,

God most high! Lord of all the heavenly pow'rs, Be the same loud anthem ours.

2 Glorified apostles raise,
Night and day, continual praise ;
Hast Thou not a mission too
For Thy children here to do?
With the prophets' goodly line
We in mystic bond combine;
For Thou hast to babes revealed
Things that to the wise were sealed.

3 Martyrs, in a noble host,

Of Thy cross are heard to boast; Since so bright the crown they wear, We with them Thy cross would bear. All Thy Church, in heaven and earth, Jesus! hail Thy spotless birth ;Seated on the judgment-throne, Number us among Thine own!

1 GLORY be to God on high,— God, whose glory fills the sky; Peace on earth to man forgiven,— Man, the well-beloved of heaven.
