MEDIÆVAL HYMNS.
Alleluia thou resoundest,
Salem, Mother ever blest;
Alleluias without ending
Fit yon place of gladsome rest;
Exiles we, by Babel's waters
Sit in bondage and distress'd.
Alleluia we deserve not
Here to chant for evermore;
Alleluia our transgressions
Make us for awhile give o'er;
For the holy time is coming
Bidding us our sins deplore.
Trinity of endless glory,
Hear Thy people as they cry!
Grant us all to keep Thy Easter
In our Home beyond the sky:
There to Thee our Alleluia
Singing everlastingly. Amen.
