Lyrics:

1. Hallelujah! We sing your praises, all our hearts are filled with gladness. Christ the Lord said to us: I am wine, I am bread; give to all who thirst and hunger.

2. Hallelujah! We sing your praises, all our hearts are filled with gladness. Now he sends us all out strong in faith, free of doubt, proclaim the good news.
