1. O hallelujah to our King!
    Ye Zion’s children, come and bring
    Praise, worship and submission!
    O magnify His wondrous might!
    The Lamb, which for our sins has died,
    Deserves our exaltation.
    Thank Him! Praise Him!
    Bring allegiance and obedience
    Every hour
    For His marv’lous strength and power.

2. His glorious kingdom shall endure.
    What equals it? What is so sure
    On earth, or yet in heaven?
    The messengers of His great fame
    In regions far and near proclaim:
    “Salvation shall be given!”
    Hear them calling,
    “Cease from sinning; Childhood winning,
    Seek His favor;
    Walk the pathway of the Saviour!”

3. O Lamb of God, to Thee we sing,
    Our gratitude and honor bring
    To Thee, our Lord forever.
    To all the people be it known
    That unto Jesus Christ alone
    Our heart and soul is given.
    Grant we pray Thee,
    ​Understanding, knowledge giving,
    Of salvation
    And Thy graceful dispensation.

4. What joy we shall in heaven see
    When we united are with Thee,
    Before Thy throne adore Thee,
    When perfect Thy great work shall be,
    When after night Thy light we see,
    And gathered are before Thee,
    Envy shall be
    Far removed, well beloved,
    All who own Thee
    ​Will as Bridegroom then acclaim Thee!

Special thanks to the Apostolic Christians who diligently labored to keep their rich musical heritage alive when most other denominations forsook it in the challenging battle of changing cultures.
​
Thanks be to those souls who labored to write and compose this treasure of praise, many now only known to GOD!

Above all, thanks, praise, and glory be to GOD!
