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!

Vain the stone, the watch, the seal, alleluia!
Christ hath burst the gates of hell, alleluia!
Death in vain forbids Him rise, alleluia!
Christ hath opened Paradise, alleluia!

Love's redeeming work is done, alleluia!
Fought the fight, the battle won, alleluia!
Lo! The Sun's eclipse is o'er, alleluia!
Lo! He sets in blood no more, alleluia!

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!

Soar we now where Christ hath led, alleluia!
Follow'ng our exalted Head, alleluia!
Made like Him, like Him we rise, alleluia!
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies, alleluia!

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!
