1.
Bring, all you dear-bought nations,
alleluia,
Your richest praises to the king,
alleluia,
That spotless Lamb, who more than due,
alleluia,
Paid for his sheep, and those sheep you,
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.
2.
The guiltless Son, who bought your peace,
alleluia,
And made his father’s anger cease,
alleluia,
Then, life and death together fought,
Each to a strange extreme were brought.
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.
3.
Life died, but soon revived again,
Alleluia,
and even death by it was slain.
alleluia,
Say, happy Magdalene, oh say,
alleluia,
what did you see there by the way?
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.
4.
I saw the tomb of my dear lord,
Alleluia,
I saw himself and him adored,
alleluia,
I saw the napkin and the sheet,
Alleluia,
I saw the napkin and the sheet,
Alleluia,
That bound his head and wrapped his
feet,
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.
5.
I heard the angels witness bear,
Alleluia,
Jesus is rising; he is not here;
alleluia,
go, tell his followers they shall see,
Alleluia,
their hopes fulfilled in Galilee.
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.
6.
We, Lord, with faithful hearts and
voice,
Alleluia,
on this your rising day rejoice.
alleluia,
O you, whose power o’er came the
grave,
Alleluia,
by grace and love us sinners save.
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.
Bring, All You Dear-Bought Nations. Alleluia Lyrics
