1 Christ the Lord is risen today: Hallelujah!
Let the whole creation say: Hallelujah!
Raise your joys and triumphs high: Hallelujah!
Sing now, heaven, and earth reply: Hallelujah!
2 Love's redeeming work is done; Hallelujah!
fought the fight, the battle won; Hallelujah!
vain the stone, the watch the seal: Hallelujah!
Christ has burst the gates of hell. Hallelujah!
3 Lives again our glorious king; Hallelujah!
where, O death, is now your sting? Hallelujah!
Once he died our souls to save; Hallelujah!
where your victory, O grave? Hallelujah!
4 Soar we now where Christ has led, Hallelujah!
following our exalted Head; Hallelujah!
made like him, like him we rise; Hallelujah!
ours the cross, the grave, the skies. Hallelujah!
