Hallelujah Amen! (Canaan Melodies #29)

A sweet hymn written by Fanny Crosby - under the alias Henrietta E Blair - reflecting on those gathered around the throne singing Christ's praise, and how we can join in their song of "hallelujah, amen!" A beautiful melody by William Kirkpatrick, although I slightly altered the timing in the chorus for a smoother feel. Sing along and be blessed.

LYRICS:

1. How oft in holy converse
With Christ, my Lord, alone,
I seem to hear the millions
That sing around His throne:

Refrain
Hallelujah! Amen!
Hallelujah! Amen!
Hallelujah! Amen!
Amen! Amen!

2. They passed through toils and trials,
And though the strife was long,
They share the victor’s conquest
And sing the victor’s song:

3. My soul takes up the chorus
And, pressing on my way,
Communing still with Jesus,
I sing from day to day:

4. Through grace I soon shall conquer
And reach my home on high;
And through eternal ages
I’ll shout beyond the sky:
