Dismissal Hymn | Alleluia dulce carmen | Latin, 11th cent.; tr. John Mason Neale, 1818-1866, altered

1. Alleluia, song of gladness, voice of joy that cannot die;
alleluia is the anthem ever raised by choirs on high;
in the house of God abiding thus they sing eternally.

2. Alleluia thou resoundest, true Jerusalem and free;
alleluia, joyful mother, all thy children sing with thee;
but by Babylon’s sad waters mourning exiles now are we.

3. Alleluia though we cherish and would chant for evermore
alleluia in our singing, let us for a while give o’er,
as our Saviour in his fasting pleasures of the world forbore.

4. Therefore in our hymns we pray thee, grant us, blessed Trinity,
at the last to keep thine Easter with thy faithful saints on high;
there to thee for ever singing alleluia joyfully.
