- And celestial voices,
- Alleluya, Alleluya, Alleluya,
- Tell that sin is o'er.
- David's sling destroys the foe:
- Samson lays the temple low:
- War and strife are done,
- God and man are one.

- Alleluya, Alleluya, Alleluya,
- Though the world loves night,
- Yet the days grow longer,

- Now the Dial's type is learnt,
- Burns the Bush that is not burnt:
- War and strife are done;
- God and man are one.
