What is Hallelujah?

Hallelujah means “All of you, praise Yah,”
Praise Jehovah’s name in reverent awe;
The God whose name stands high above the earth,
The Most High King, who gave all life its birth.

Hallelujah calls Jehovah’s people near,
“Praise ye Yah,” it rings both far and clear;
From hearts made glad by mercy from his hand,
We lift his name in every tribe and land

What a privilege to whisper “Yah, I’m yours,”
To praise you as our Father whom our soul adores.
Billions do not know you, but your friends now see:
To know your name, Jehovah, is the greatest joy to be.

Scripture says his name alone is Jehovah, Most High,
Over all the earth, his glory fills the sky;
So when we cry “Hallelujah” in our song,
We praise the One whose rule is pure and strong

In psalms of old, the cry was “Praise Yah now,”
A plural call for all to bend and bow;
Hallelū-Yah, one chorus, many voice,
In Jehovah’s name, his servants now rejoice

What a privilege to whisper “Yah, I’m yours,”
To praise you as our Father whom our soul adores.
Billions do not know you, but your friends now see:
To know your name, Jehovah, is the greatest joy to be.

Revelation shows a great celestial throng,
Shouting “Hallelujah” in victorious song;
Salvation, power, and kingship all belong
To Jehovah God, forever wise and strong

So when we speak that word of praise today,
We honor Jehovah in the very way
His Word reveals: his name made known, held dear—
Hallelujah—“Praise Yah,” in holy fear.

What a privilege to whisper “Yah, I’m yours,”
To praise you as our Father whom our soul adores.
Billions do not know you, but your friends now see:
To know your name, Jehovah, is the greatest joy to be.
What a privilege to whisper “Yah, I’m yours,”
To praise you as our Father whom our soul adores.
Billions do not know you, but your friends now see:
To know your name, Jehovah, is the greatest joy to be.
To know your name, Jehovah, is the greatest joy to be.
