“Hallelujah” is an exclamation of worship or a call to praise. It comes from a Hebrew phrase that means “Praise the Lord.” It’s a joyful expression of praise and thanksgiving to God.

There’s a Christmas carol I love called, “O, Come All Ye Faithful (Adeste Fideles).” I’ve sung this carol ever since I can remember, but after a prayer group meeting, it took on a new meaning. I hadn’t thought of this song in the context of prayer. “O, Come all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant.” Bear with me.
