HALLELUJAH
(Tune: William Walker, 1835; Lyrics: Charles Wesley, 1759)

And let this feeble body fail,
And let it faint or die;
My soul shall quit this mournful vale,
And soar to worlds on high,

(Chorus:) And I'll sing hallelujah,
And you'll sing hallelujah,
And we'll all sing hallelujah,
When we arrive at home.

Shall join the disembodied saints,
And find its long-sought rest,
The only bliss for which it pants,
In my Redeemer's breast. (Chorus)

Oh, what are all my suff'rings here,
If, Lord, Thou count me meet
With that enraptured host t'appear,
And worship at Thy feet! (Chorus)

Give joy or grief, give ease or pain,
Take life or friends away,
But let me find them all again,
In that eternal day. (Chorus)

( No.146 in "The Sacred Harp," 1991 Edition.)
