Now hear the Holy Bible say,
How on that first glad Christmas day
In a village far away, a child was born.
Born the Son of God above,
Sent to teach us how to love,
He came to be the Savior of this waiting world.

Why isn’t everybody singing allelu,
Why isn’t everybody singing allelu,
Why isn’t everybody singing alleluia to the Lord?

He came to show us what a man should be,
He died alone at Calvary,
To cull our sins and set us free forevermore.
They laid Him in a tomb but, then,
He conquered death to rise again,
Brought everlasting life to men, this wide world o’er.

Why isn’t everybody singing allelu,
Why isn’t everybody singing allelu,
Why isn’t everybody singing alleluia to the Lord?

Now hear the Holy Bible say,
Someday in His loving way,
Jesus will return to stay forevermore.
Then all the loved ones we have known
Will gather ‘round the Savior’s throne,
To find at last their heav’nly home forevermore.

Then everybody will be singing allelu,
Yes everybody will be singing allelu,
Oh everybody will be singing alleluia to the Lord.
