Alleluya, a new work is come on hand

W. Mathias

A new work is come on hand.

Through might and grace of God's son,

To save the lost of every land,

For now is free what erst was bound;

We may well sing alleluya.

By Gabriel begun it was:

Right as the sun shone through the glass

Jesus Christ conceived was

Of Mary mother, full of grace;

Now sing we here alleluya.

Now is fulfilled the prophecy

Of David and of Jeremy,

And also of Ysaye;

Sing we therefore both loud and high: Alleluya.
