Praise Christ the Son of the Living God, Alleluia

This is a hymn of glory, which is popular in Africa. The words appear to be adapted from Clarence River's Glory to God, Glory (or did Rivers adapt from a song used in Africa?)

The author and composer are unknown, and no published versions have been found.
