Alleluia! Sing the Triumph

lyricist: Mabel Dawson, before 1917
Composer: Arthur Brown

Alleluia! sing the tri­umph

Of the Vic­tor in the strife

Who

thro’ death

Him­self hath brought us

To the re­sur­rect­ion life.

Lo! the bars of death are ri­ven

Now for ev­er op­en stand;

Never more shall close the por­tals

Of the Re­sur­rect­ion Land

Never more shall close the por­tals

Of the Re­sur­rect­ion Land!

Alleluia! lo

the dark­ness

Breaks in ev­er­last­ing dawn

Fled for ev­er in the ra­di­ance

Of the re­sur­rect­ion morn.

Now is past the night of weep­ing

With the morn­ing cometh joy;

By His glo­ri­ous re­sur­rect­ion

Death’s fell pow­er did Christ de­stroy.

By His glo­ri­ous re­sur­rect­ion

Death’s fell pow­er did Christ de­stroy.

Lo! the keys of death are hold­en

By the Vic­tor glo­ri­fied;

Christ the gates of Heav’n hath op­ened

Unto all be­liev­ers wide.

Day and night the great pro­cess­ion

Of the ran­somed en­ters in;

Jesus lives! be­cause He liv­eth

Life eter­nal man may win.

Jesus lives! be­cause He liv­eth

Life eter­nal man may win.

Alleluia! Christ is ris­en!

He hath tri­umphed glo­ri­ous­ly:

Now

through Christ may man tri­umph­ant

Joyful gain the vic­to­ry.

Alleluia! Sav­ior keep us

By Thy heav’n­ly grace

we pray

That we keep with Thee in Heav­en

Everlasting East­er Day.

That we keep with Thee in Heav­en

Everlasting East­er Day.

Alleluia! Lord

we hail Thee

Join the chor­us of the skies

And with an­gels and arch­an­gels

Bid the hymn of praise arise.
