[Notes are sung first by group.]

Lift up your head, Immanuel’s friend,
Oh, hal-le, hallelujah,
And taste the pleasure Jesus sends,
Oh, hal-le, hallelujah.
Let nothing cause you to delay,
Oh, hal-le, hallelujah,
But hasten on the good old way,
Oh, hal-le, hallelujah.

Our conflict here, though great they be,
Oh, hal-le, hallelujah,
Shall not prevent our victory,
Oh, hal-le, hallelujah.
If we but strive, and watch, and pray,
Oh, hal-le, hallelujah,
Like soldiers in the good old way,
Oh, hal-le, hallelujah.
