THE WEEK BEFORE SEPTUAGESIMA

Before 11th cent. Tr. J. M. Neale.

Alleluya, dulce carmen.

ALLELUYA, song of sweetness,
Voice of joy, eternal lay;
Alleluya is the anthem
Of the choirs in heavenly day,
Which the Angels sing, abiding
In the house of God alway.

2 Alleluya, thou resoundest,
Salem, mother, ever blest;
Alleluyas without ending,
Fit yon place of gladsome rest;
Exiles we, by Babel’s waters,
Sit in bondage and distrest.

3 Alleluya we deserve not
Here to chant for evermore:
Alleluya our transgressions
Make us for awhile give o’er;
For the holy time is coming,
Bidding us our sins deplore.

4. 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 Alleluya
Singing everlastingly. Amen.
