"Alleluia! With a diadem of beauty" is a saints' day hymn versified by William Thomas Brooke. The text is based on Rev. J. M. Rodwell's prose translation of the "Song of the Saints" from the Abyssinian hymnal compiled by Jared.
The versification was first published in eight seven-line stanzas in the Monthly Packet (November 1871) as part of a series on "Songs of Other Churches" edited by Rev. Louis Coutier Biggs. Brooke subsequently included it in his Churchman's Manual of Private and Family Devotion (1882).
