Alleluia, Song of Gladness by Latin, 11th Cent. DULCE CARMEN—Composer Unknown, 1782 Alleluia, Song of Gladness 1 Alleluia, Song of gladness, Voice of joy that cannot die; Alleluia is the anthem Ever dear to choirs on high; In the house of God abiding Thus they sing eternally. 2 Alleluia Thou resoundest, True Jerusalem and free; Alleluia, joyful mother, All Thy children sing with Thee; But by Babylon’s sad waters Mourning exiles now are we. 3 Alleluia we deserve not Here to chant for evermore;
