Alleluia! Sing to Jesus! (Fm)

God’s kingdom is filled with seemingly contradictory yet wondrously complementary truths. His “power is made perfect in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9, ESV). He is the God of righteous anger and wrath; yet His mercy endures forever. Our glorious risen savior is both the lion of Judah and the perfect sacrificial lamb.
The gospel compels and commands us to “sing to the Lord a new song.” (Psalm 96:1, ESV) These two arrangements set the same text to different tunes, one in major and one in minor. Embrace how the same truth can speak to you and move you to worship in different ways. Let us sing to Him with a full range of emotions and a deeper understanding of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
Lyrics
Alleluia! Sing to Jesus!
His the scepter, His the throne.
Alleluia! His the triumph,
His the victory alone.
Hark! The songs of peaceful Zion
Thunder like a mighty flood:
"Jesus out of ev'ry nation
Has redeemed us by His blood."
Alleluia! Bread of angels,
Here on earth our food, our stay!
Alleluia! Here the sinful
Flee to You from day to day.
Intercessor, friend of sinners,
Earth's redeemer, plead for me,
Where the songs of all the sinless
Sweep across the crystal sea.
Alleluia! King eternal,
You the Lord of lords we own;
Alleluia! Born of Mary,
Earth Your footstool, heav'n Your throne.
You within the veil have entered,
Robed in flesh, our great high priest;
Here on earth both priest and victim
In the eucharistic feast.
