Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

1.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Loud we sing, for God is love.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Strength He gives us from above.
Hear our call, “Be done with worldly folly!”
Hear our call, “Run! Run! Your zeal increase!”
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
He’s our all in all and fills our lives with peace.
2.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Christ is leading at the fore.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
We’re increasing more and more!
Now we onward race in Jesus’ footsteps,
T’ward the blessed place He does prepare.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Soon with all who keep His law we’ll gather there.
3.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Soon we’ll reach that glorious place!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Nearly there! Step up the pace!
Hear our call, “Press on and take the kingdom!”
Hear our call, “Press on, the prize to win!”
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
The inheritance is ours through faith in Him.
