Same song which is your personal preference:
1.
2.
3.
4.
They are all beautiful!
My order; 1, 3, 2, 4
The phrase "hallelujah" translates to "praise Jah/Yah", though it carries a deeper meaning as the word halel in Hebrew means a joyous praise in song, to boast in God. The second part, Yah, is a shortened form of YHWH, and is a shortened form of his name "God, Jah, or Jehovah".

Generally speaking, an original song is usually better than a cover. That's because if you like an original piece, it becomes your 'standard' and most familiar version. If a cover is better, it is due to its being very very good.
For me, the 'original' or most familiar, is by Josh Groban. But Lucy Thomas' voice has long been a favorite of mine, so that would be my favorite pick.

Really don't care for this version.

I’ve been a Leonard Cohn fan from the late 60s. 👍
Interesting article about Leonard writing it and getting it released.

NONE. K.D. Lang's version knocks it out of the park.
