Alleluia raise the anthem

Alleluia raise the anthem 

1. Alleluia! raise the anthem,

let the skies resound with praise; sing to Christ who brought salvation, wonderful his works and ways: God eternal, Word incarnate, whom the heaven of heavens obeys.

2. Long before he formed the mountains, spread the seas or made the sky, love eternal, free and boundless, moved the Lord of life to die; fore-ordained the Prince of princes for the throne of Calvary.

3. There for us and our redemption see him all his life-blood pour; there he wins our full salvation, dies that we may die no more then arising lives forever, King of kings, whom we adore.

4. Praise and honour to the Father, praise and honour to the Son, praise and honour to the Spirit, ever three and ever one: one in grace and one in glory while eternal ages run!
