English (ACCA)
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!

​1. Halleluja, lobsingt dem Herrn! Ihr Zionskinder, bringt Ihm gern
Anbetung, Preis und Ehre! Erhebt die Wunder Seiner Macht!
Das Lamm, das für uns ward geschlacht’t, Verdient das Lob der Chöre.
Danket, Rühmet! Singt dem König Untertänig Preis und Stärke
Für die Wunder Seiner Werke.
 
2. Halleluja, Sein herrlich’ Reich Wird groß durch Ihn; was ist Ihm gleich
Im Himmel und auf Erden? Die Boten Seiner Herrlichkeit
Verkündigen nun weit und breit Sein Heil auf dieser Erden.
Hört! Sie Rufen: „Kommet, Sünder, Werdet Kinder
Seiner Gnade, Wandelt auf des Heilands Pfade!“
 
3. O Gotteslamm, Dir singen wir, Und bringen Dank und Ehre Dir,
Du, unser Haupt und Leben. Es wisse, wer es wissen kann:
Auch wir gehören Jesu an Und bleiben Ihm ergeben.
Herr, wir Flehen Mit den Deinen: Lass erscheinen
Dein’ Erkenntnis, Deines Gnadenrats Verständnis.
 
4. Was wird es einst im Himmel sein, Wenn wir vereint uns Seiner freun,
Ihn dort anbeten werden; Wenn Er Sein großes Werk vollbracht,
Und aus der Erde dunkler Nacht Gesammelt Seine Herden!
Kein Neid, Kein Streit Stört die Triebe Reiner Liebe
Unter Seelen, Die sich mit dem Lamm vermählen.
​Spanish

​1. ¡Dad aleluyas sin cesar,
De Sion los hijos, alabad!
Al Dios de vuestras almas.
Con su amor y su poder,
Por el Cordero nos salvo,
Bendito es su nombre.
¡Canten Gloria! Demos honra a su nombre
¡Rey Amado! El es quien nos ha salvado.
 
2. Oh ¡Aleluya! luz de Dios
Eres gloriosa, sin igual
En todo este mundo.
Tus mensajeros fieles son
Al anunciar tu salvación
Y tu amor profundo.
Oíd, venid pecadores, Él os llama
Con paciencia, en su senda hoy os guía.
 
3. ¡Oh Salvador, cantamos hoy,
Te damos gloria y honor!
Tú, eres gozo_y vida.
Que todos vean que_en tu luz
Vivimos, junto_a Ti, Jesús,
Gozando paz querida.
Señor, Jesús, tu verdad queremos
Proclamar al mundo, y con fe tu_amor profundo.
 
4. Y en el cielo_al vernos ya
Nos uniremos a cantar
Al Cristo revelado.
Del mundo_y su oscuridad
Nos llevas por tu gran bondad
Al triunfo anhelado.
Señor, en Ti gozaremos todos del amor eterno,
Junto_a los que te_han amado.

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!
