Hymns for Children, 96

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Hymns for Children (1763) · Osborn ed., vol. 6 (1870)

Religion

Who shall join the acclamation
Of that bright celestial choir.
While with rapturous exultation
All in songs of praise aspire?
Hallelujah
Sounds from every tuneful lyre.
I, if here I love my Lover,
Here my heart to Jesus give,
When this mortal life is over.

Shall a harp and crown receive.
Hallelujah
Sing, as long as God shall live.
