He Who made the earth His home, Infant holy, 'Alleluia! Now ascends the azure dome;-- Praise Him, 'Alleluia! | Long on rugged ways He trod, Footsore, weary, 'Alleluia! Calling wanderers back to God;-- Praise Him, 'Alleluia! | 54 Gone from earth, His wanderings o'er, Toil is ended, 'Alleluia! See Him upward, heavenward soar;-- Praise Him, 'Alleluia! | He Who bare the Cross in woe, Faint, and falling, 'Alleluia! Seeks the path where sunbeams go;-- Praise Him, 'Alleluia! | On the awful cross He hung, Faint, and bleeding, 'Alleluia! Death and hell their arrows flung;-- Praise Him, 'Alleluia! | 'Alleluia! all is past,-- Death and dying, 'Alleluia! Life immortal's won at last;-- Praise Him, 'Alleluia! | 'Alleluia! all is ended, All He came for, 'Alleluia! And our Victor hath ascended;-- Praise Him, 'Alleluia! | |
