Christ, the Lord, is ris'n today;
Hallelujah!
Sons of men and angels say
Hallelujah!
Raise your joys and triumphs high;
Hallelujah!
Sing, ye heav'ns, and earth reply:
Hallelujah!

Love's redeeming work is done;
Hallelujah!
Fought the fight, the battle won.
Hallelujah!
Death in vain forbids Him rise;
Hallelujah!
Christ hath opened Paradise.
Hallelujah!

Lives again our glorious King;
Hallelujah!
"Where, O death, is now thy sting?"
Hallelujah!
Once He died our souls to save:
Hallelujah!
Where's thy victory, O grave?
Hallelujah!

Soar we now where Christ hath led,
Hallelujah!
Foll'wing our exalted Head;
Hallelujah!
Made like Him, like Him we rise;
Hallelujah!
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies.
Hallelujah!
