SONG

Alleluia, sing Alleluia, Alleluia Alleluia
My heart is stirred by a noble theme
As I sing my ode to the king
My tongue is the pen of a nimble scribe.
Glory be to the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning / Let it be forever, Amen.
Alleluia, sing Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.
