Tune: Lasst Uns Erfreuen
('All creatures of our God and King')
Psalm 145 v.10-17
***********
All your works, Lord, they shall you praise
And your people songs to you raise
Alleluia, Alleluia!
They shall speak of the glory sure
Of your kingdom for evermore
And talk too of your power's store
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
We shall make known to sons of men
Your mighty acts, give glory then
Alleluia, Alleluia!
Unto you, and you majesty
Glorious it shall ever be
Declared to mankind who shall see
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
Your kingdom an everlasting
Kingdom, we truly of it sing
Alleluia, Alleluia!
And your dominion endures
For ever, you our heart assures
Drawing us with peaceful allures
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
The Lord He upholds all that all
Responds to they who on Him call
Alleluia, Alleluia!
He raises those that bowed down be
The eyes of all look to Him free
He gives them their food graciously
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
You open your hand, Lord, and give
To each creature and so they live
Alleluia, Alleluia!
Every living thing's desire you
Satisfy, and do us renew
Righteous and holy Lord and true
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

I used to like to sing the Alleluias as a child and this one has several. Good write Orchi
Thank you SB. In a hymn of the same tune, there's even more Alleluias with the penultimate line of each verse being 'Alleluia, Alleluia!'. So 5 in all, at the end of each verse. Phew!
Also - it's terribly sad in the clip if we're in any degree patriotic. Our Queen, only a few months before she passed away, to join her husband Prince Philip.
When a song contains so many verses of the same word it makes it easy to remember the words almost like humming. Yes sad she was a beloved person world wide and even though not British I found her charming and charismatic, a lovely and beloved person so rare now days at those levels.
Yes, 70 years of service - where some countries are ruled by monsters.
Orchi, this is properly Divinely Delightful...and I can practically hear the tune carrying it. Popeyeus has been instructed that the Alleluias are not a cue for interpretive spinach glugging, though already his throat is sounding like a pipe organ processed in reverse through a hellish goose-beast. Not quite the peaceful worship experience Olive was hoping for! 😂 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thank Mike, erm, Tristan. Mr Hunt said not to mention him. lol.
Good one dude!
Thank you JM.
the alleluia's did it for me .. 👍
Thank you N. They might be Hallelujahs or even Alleluyas - are they strange creatures, this Alleluia family?! lol.
