Samuel Sebastian Wesley - Alcester - ноты, текст песни (слова)

1. 
 
 
 
Hallelujah! raise, O raise 
To our God the song of praise; 
All His servants join to sing 
God our Savior and our King. 
2. 
 
 
 
Blessèd be forevermore 
That dread Name which we adore; 
Round the world His praise be sung 
Through all lands, in every tongue. 
3. 
 
 
 
O'er all nations God alone, 
Higher than the heav'ns His throne; 
Who is like to God most high, 
Infinite in majesty! 
4. 
 
 
 
Yet to view the heav'ns He bends; 
Yea, to earth He condescends; 
Passing by the rich and great, 
For the low and desolate. 
5. 
 
 
 
He can raise the poor to stand 
With the princes of the land; 
Wealth upon the needy shower; 
Set him with the high in power. 
6. 
 
 
 
He the broken spirit cheers: 
Turns to joy the mourner's tears; 
Such the wonders of His ways; 
Praise His Name, forever praise! 
Lyrics: Jo­si­ah Con­der, in The Cleve­land Psalt­er, by Arch­dea­con Chur­ton, 1854.
