Alleluia! Alleluia!

1.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Hearts to heav’n and voices raise;
Sing to God a hymn of gladness,
Sing to God a hymn of praise.
He who one the cross as Savior
For the world’s salvation bled,
Jesus Christ, the King of Glory,
Now is risen from the dead.

2.
Now the iron bars are broken,
Christ from death to life is born,
Glorious life, and life immortal
On this resurrection morn;
Christ has triumphed and we conquer
By his mighty enterprise,
We with him to life eternal
By his resurrection rise.

Alleluia! Alleuia! Let the Holy Anthem Rise

1.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Let the holy anthem rise,
And the choirs of heaven chant it
In the temple of the skies;
Let the mountains skip with gladness,
And the joyful valleys ring
With hosannas in the highest
To our Savior and our King!

2.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Like the sun from out the wave,
He is risen up in triumph
From the darkness of the grave.
He’s the splendor of the nations,
He’s the lamp of endless day;
He’s the very Lord of glory
Who is risen up today!

3.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Blessed Jesus, make us rise
From the life of this corruption
To the life that never dies.
May your glory be our portion,
When the days of time are past,
And the dead shall be awakened
By the trumpet’s mighty blast!

Holy Patron, Thee Saluting

1.
Holy Patron, thee saluting
Here we meet, with hearts sincere;
Blest Saint Joseph, all unitying,
Call on thee to hear our prayer.

HAPPY SAINT, IN BLISS ADORING
JESUS, SAVIOR OF HUMAN KIND,
HEAR THY CHILDREN, THEE IMPLORING
MAY WE THY PROTECTION FIND.

2.
Thou who faithfully attended
Him whom heav'n and earth adore;
Who with pious care defended
Mary, Virgin ever pure.

3.
May our fervent prayers ascending,
Move thee for our souls to plead;
May thy smile of peace descending,
benedictions on us shed.

4.
Through this life, O watch around us!
Fill with love our ev'ry breath,
And, when parting fear surrounds us,
Guide us through the toils of death.
