Above the clear blue sky
From Oremus Hymnal
Above the clear blue sky,
in heaven's bright abode,
the angel-host on high
sing praises to their God:
Hallelujah!
They love to sing
to God their King:
Hallelujah!
But God from infant tongues
on earth receiveth praise;
we then our cheerful songs
in sweet accord will raise:
Hallelujah!
We too will sing
to God our King:
Hallelujah!
O blessèd Lord, thy truth
in love to us impart,
and teach us in our youth
to know thee as thou art.
Hallelujah!
Then shall we sing
to God our King:
Hallelujah!
O may thy holy word
spread all the world around;
and all with one accord
uplift the joyful sound:
Hallelujah!
All then shall sing
to God their King:
Hallelujah!
