REVIVE US AGAINwords: William P MacKay music: John J Husband
We praise the, o God! for the son of thy love,
For Jesus who died, and is now gone above.CH: Hallelujah! Thine the glory; Hallelujah! Amen!
Hallelujah! Thine the glory; Revive us again.We praise thee, o God! for thy spirit of light,
Who has shown us our Savior, and scattered our night.All glory and praise to the Lamb that was slain,
Who has borne all our sins, and has cleansed every stain.Revive us again; fill each heart with thy love;
May each soul be rekindled with fire from above.

Others using the tune and form.
Hallelujah, I'm a Ku Klux
When my old man said, I was hundred percent,
I sought out a kleagle and to him I went.
Hallelujah, I'm a Ku Klux, Hallelujah, amen,
Hallelujah I'm a Ku Klux, I belong to the Klan.This is from : Hard Hitting Songs for Hard-Hit People by Lomax, Guthrie & Seeger. Could have been written by Woody but no credit is given.
In a totally different vein, Garrison Keillor has written and recorded "Hallelujah I'm A Cat"
