Lyrics
CHORUS
Then sing hallelujah! sing hallelukah!
Glory be to God on high!
For the old flag with the high white flag
is hanging in the asure sky.
2. Ye joy bells! ye peace-bells!
Oh never, never music rang,
So sweetly, so grandly, since angels in the advent sang,
Your message is gladness to myriads of waiting souls,
As onward and world-ward the happy, happy echo rolls.
3. Come patriots! come freedom!
Come join your every heart and voice;
We’ve wept with the weeping–now let us wish the blest rejoice,
With armies of victors who round about the white throne stand–
With Lincoln, the Martyr and Liberator of his land.
