About this Hymn
This hymn resounds in triumph before our victorious King and Redeemer, whose throne overlooks the crystal sea (Rev. 4:6). Though he no longer walks among us on earth, this is no distant King; he is still with us and among us through the gift of his Spirit. O Lord, hear our prayers, and continue to be our Friend and Intercessor.
Lyrics
Verse 1
Alleluia! Sing to Jesus; his the scepter, his the throne. Alleluia! His the triumph, his the victory alone. Hark! The songs of peaceful Zion thunder like a mighty flood: "Jesus out of ev'ry nation has redeemed us by his blood."
Verse 2
Alleluia! Not as orphans are we left in sorrow now. Alleluia! He is near us; faith believes, nor questions how. Though the cloud from sight received him when the forty days were o'er, shall our hearts forget his promise, "I am with you evermore"?
Verse 3
Alleluia! Bread of heaven, here on earth our food, our stay. Alleluia! Here the sinful flee to you from day to day. Intercessor, Friend of sinners, earth's Redeemer, hear our plea where the songs of all the sinless sweep across the crystal sea.
