Handel's HALLELUJAH Chorus



From Andre Rieu's "Live From Radio City Music Hall" in New York City 2004, with the Johann Strauss Orchestra and the Harlem Gospel Choir.


Though heavily romanticized, it is one of the best renditions of this magnificent piece, in this one's opinion.

LYRICS:

Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah
Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah

For the LORD God omnipotent reigneth
Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah
For the LORD God omnipotent reigneth
Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah
For the LORD God omnipotent reigneth
Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah

Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah
Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah
(For the LORD God omnipotent reigneth)
Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah

For the LORD God omnipotent reigneth
(Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah)
Hallelujah

The kingdom of this world;
is become
the kingdom of our LORD,
and of His Christ
and of His Christ

And He shall reign for ever and ever
And He shall reign forever and ever
And He shall reign forever and ever
And He shall reign forever and ever

King of kings forever and ever hallelujah hallelujah
and LORD of lords forever and ever hallelujah hallelujah
King of kings forever and ever hallelujah hallelujah
and LORD of lords forever and ever hallelujah hallelujah
King of kings forever and ever hallelujah hallelujah
and LORD of lords
King of kings and LORD of lords

And He shall reign
And He shall reign
And He shall reign
He shall reign
And He shall reign forever and ever

King of kings forever and ever
and LORD of lords hallelujah hallelujah
And He shall reign forever and ever

King of kings and LORD of lords
King of kings and LORD of lords
And He shall reign forever and ever

Forever and ever and ever and ever
(King of kings and LORD of lords)

Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah
Hallelujah

[Taken from the prophecy of Isaiah
]


For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will
be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the greatness of his government and peace
there will be no end.

He will reign on David’s throne
and over his kingdom,
establishing and upholding it
with justice and righteousness
from that time on and forever.
The zeal of the LORD Almighty
will accomplish this.

- Isaiah 9
(a prophecy 700 years before the birth of Jesus Christ)

Fuck the christian religion. It's creating many chaotic and atrocity throughout centuries in the name of roman prisoner named Jesus who married the hooker!!! Christian and Islam who share the same God are purely devil advocates that preached violence and social disorder. KI desperate for real news and Khmer Democrat can fill that void.

The blind commentor above knows very little of what he wrote about. Nice try, why don't you try to be a good heathen for once?

Jews and Islam does not share the same God. Why does Muslims hate Jews if they belief in the same God? And why does Islam want to kill all "christians" if they believe in the same God?

Not all that labeled "Christians" are true disciples of Christ. Roman's Catholitism is manmade religious group who persecute other believers in the past.

So it was the Christian religion that brought about Pol Pot Era? Though I may think Catholic Catholitism may have the role to play in it, originated from France.

I am no body side, but wonder if you know why the Buddhist states like Thailand and Cambodia won't ever stop hating and killing each other?
Buddha said his religion will be disappeared when Preah Se-Ar Metrei arrived and now Buddhism is fading and so are yours.
Aren't you seeing Buddha prophecy is coming true? Preah Se-Ar Metrei is the most powerful one throughout the Universe and so HE IS.

Also you ought to know that Khmers and Thais adopted foreign religion such as Buddhism (from India), none of the two have their own.

Huamns regardless what religions they are with, their nature is desire and so they kill others. Vietnamese were Buddhists but different sector, and yet they massacred millions of their neighbors,. and so were the Thais. Oh another one Jayavaraman 7 after he adopted Buddhism, he too killed so many to expand his empire.

For the sake of your evil stupidity, Se-Ar Metrei (Christ) preached PEACE.

6:07 PM is purely Evil, but you 7:58 PM saying that Christian and Islam don't share the same GOD is WRONG.

They share the same GOD, God of their Father Abraham, GOD of the universe. Abraham had two sons: the oldest was Ishmael and the youngest was Issac. Ishmael's mother was Egyptian slave who was Ibraham's wife;s servant and Issac was Abraham's wife son. They had the same GOD and ONE GOD for the Universe.

No one knows the purposes of GOD and why, only us humans have to try to live according to HIS rules or His 10 Commandments that's about it.

Don't worry about a few evils like 6:07 PM. This person is not just evil but its soul is in hell.

6:07 PM reprsents a purely evil spirit. He's cursed by God Himself.
He has nothing good in his heart. No suprisingly we live in a cursed and cursing land.
But let God's judegement be upon him.
Fogive him for he do not know of what he was doing.
