1. Christ, the Lord, is risen to- day, Al- le- lu- ia! Sons of men and an- gels say, Al- le- lu- ia! Raise your joys and tri- umphs high, Al- le- lu- ia! Sing, ye heavens, and earth, re- ply, Al- le- lu- ia!
 
2. Love's re- deem- ing work is done, Al- le- lu- ia! Fought the fight, the ba- ttle won, Al- le- lu- ia! Lo! the Sun's ec- lipse is o'er, Al- le- lu- ia! Lo! He sets in blood no more, Al- le- lu- ia!
 
3. Vain the stone, the watch, the seal, Al- le- lu- ia! Christ hath burst the gates of hell, Al- le- lu- ia! Death in vain for- bids His rise, Al- le- lu- ia! Christ hath o- pened par- a- dise, Al- le- lu- ia!
 
4. Lives a- gain our glor- ious King, Al- le- lu- ia! Where, O death, is now thy sting? Al- le- lu- ia! Once He died our souls to save, Al- le- lu- ia! Where thy vic- to- ry, O grave? Al- le- lu- ia!
 
5. Soar we now where Christ hath led, Al- le- lu- ia! Follow- ing our ex- al- ted Head, Al- le- lu- ia! Made like Him, like Him we rise, Al- le- lu- ia! Ours the cross, the grave, the skies, Al- le- lu- ia!
