Hallelujah, Raise the Song

Hallelujah

raise the song

Jesus Christ is ris­en

Let the Church the note pro­long

Jesus Christ is ris­en!

Her lov­ing and tri­umph­ant head

Captivity has cap­tive led

And ev­ery foe has van­quish­èd.

Hallelujah.

Hallelujah! let the cry

Jesus Christ is ris­en

Wake each harp string of the sky

Jesus Christ is ris­en.

The seal­èd stone is rolled away

Death and the grave have lost their prey

For Je­sus Christ is ris’n to­day

Hallelujah!

Hallelujah! dry the tear

Jesus Christ is ris­en;

Sound o’er ev­ery si­lent bier

Jesus Christ is ris­en!

Thrice bless­èd pledge

ye mourn­ers keep

Who for your lost and loved ones weep

Because He lives

they on­ly sleep.

Hallelujah!

Hallelujah! let the sound

Jesus Christ is ris­en

Circulate the world around

Jesus Christ is ris­en!

Soon may the world’s great East­er be

When

her now bond­aged child­ren free

Exultant

Lord

shall reign with Thee

Hallelujah!
