Christ has risen from the dead
He who suffered in our stead;
Rise we with our risen head;
Alleluia! Alleluia!
They who sang when He was born
Sing again this Easter morn
Songs that gladden hearts forlorn;
Alleluia! Alleluia!
He has burst the captives’ chain;
Now they glory in His name
Who for them did suffer shame;
Alleluia! Alleluia!
See
the tomb has opened wide;
See
the Lord
who bled and died
Now has risen glorified
Alleluia! Alleluia!
On that grand triumphant day
When things old shall pass away
We shall lift our voice and say
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Christ the first fruits now we see
Of a harvest yet to be
When we’re gathered
Lord
to Thee.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
