Hallelujah.

 Hallelujah

A Reflection on Revelation 19:1, Psalm 150:6, and Psalm 113:1

Hallelujah—praise the Lord, let every breath declare

The goodness, the glory, the grace beyond compare.

A word that echoes through the heavens, a shout that shakes the earth,

Proclaiming that the Lord our God is worthy of all worth.

After this I heard what sounded like the roar of a great multitude in heaven shouting: “Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God.” (Revelation 19:1)

Hallelujah—not a whisper, not a sigh,

But a trumpet blast of praise that pierces the sky.

The angels cry it, the saints repeat,

The martyrs sing it from their mercy seat.

Hallelujah for the Father—the source of every good,

Who keeps His covenant, who gives us daily food.

Hallelujah for the Son—the Lamb who took our place,

Who rose victorious over death, who saved us by His grace.

Hallelujah for the Spirit—the Comforter and Friend,

Who leads us into truth and keeps us to the end.

Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord, you His servants; praise the name of the Lord. (Psalm 113:1)

In the sanctuary and the street, in the silence and the roar,

Let hallelujahs rise to Him who was and is and evermore.

When joy overflows and when tears fall down,

Hallelujah is the song that turns our mourning into a crown.

So I join the chorus of the redeemed, the great and small,

The ones who have washed their robes and answered the call.

Hallelujah! Let it rise from every tongue and tribe.

Hallelujah! For the Lord God Almighty reigns. Let all who hear, subscribe.

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord! (Psalm 150:6)

Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Amen.
