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!
