Verse 1
Christ the Lord is ris’n today,
Alleluia!
Sons of men and angels say,
Alleluia!
Raise your joys and triumphs high,
Alleluia!
Sing, ye heav’ns, and earth, reply,
Alleluia!
Verse 2
Lives again our glorious King,
Alleluia!
Where, O death, is now thy sting?
Alleluia!
Once He died our souls to save,
Alleluia!
Where thy victory, O grave?
Alleluia!
Verse 3
Love’s redeeming work is done,
Alleluia!
Fought the fight, the battle won,
Alleluia!
Death in vain forbids His rise,
Alleluia!
Christ hath opened paradise,
Alleluia!
Verse 4
Soar we now where Christ hath led,
Alleluia!
Foll’wing our exalted Head,
Alleluia!
Made like Him, like Him we rise,
Alleluia!
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies,
Alleluia!
Verse 5
Hail the Lord of earth and heaven,
Alleluia!
Praise to Thee by both be given,
Alleluia!
Thee we greet triumphant now,
Alleluia!
Hail the Resurrection, thou,
Alleluia!
Verse 6
King of glory, Soul of bliss,
Alleluia!
Everlasting life is this,
Alleluia!
Thee to know, Thy pow’r to prove,
Alleluia!
Thus to sing, and thus to love,
Alleluia!
