Alleluia (Hallejujah) Praise ye the Lord

The author and composer of this praise chorus are unknown - although it may be based on a Weslyian hymn.

The song is most commonly used as a children's hymn: Due to the particularly simple nature of the tune, it is good for teaching young children to sing together and to link song-words with actions.

The first word may be pronounced either "hallelujah" or "alleluia", and sometimes the second phrase is sung as "praised be the Lord".
