1. Al- le- lu- ia, al- le- lu- ia! Hearts to Heav'n and voi- ces raise: Sing to God a hymn of glad- ness, sing to God a hymn of praise. He, who on the cross a Vic- tim, for the world's sal- va- tion bled, Je- sus Christ, the King of glo- ry, now is ri- sen from the dead.
 
2. Now the i- ron bars are bro- ken, Christ from death to life is born, Glor- ious life, and life im- mor- tal, on the ho- ly Ea- ster morn. Christ has tri- umphed, and we con- quer by His might- y en- ter- prise: We with Him to life e- ter- nal by His res- ur- rec- tion rise.
 
3. Christ is ri- sen, Christ, the first fruits of the ho- ly har- vest field, Which will all its full a- bun- dance at His se- cond com- ing yield: Then the gol- den ears of har- vest will their heads be- fore Him wave, Rip- ened by His glor- ious sun- shine from the fur- rows of the grave.
 
4. Christ is ri- sen, we are ri- sen! Shed up- on us heav'n- ly grace, Rain and dew and gleams of glo- ry from the bright- ness of Thy face; That we, with our hearts in Hea- ven, here on earth may fruit- ful be, And by an- gel hands be ga- thered, and be ev- er, Lord, with Thee.
 
5. Al- le- lu- ia, al- le- lu- ia! Glo- ry be to God on high; Al- le- lu- ia! to the Sa- vior who has gained the vic- to- ry; Al- le- lu- ia! to the Spir- it, fount of love and sanc- ti- ty: Al- le- lu- ia, al- le- lu- ia! to the Tri- une Ma- jes- ty.
