1. Al le lu ia, al le lu ia! Hearts to heav’n and voic es raise–
2. Now the i ron bars are bro ken! Christ from death to life is born–
3. Christ is ris en, Christ, the first fruits of the ho ly har vest field,
4. Christ is ris en, we are ris en! Shed up on us heav’n ly grace,
5. Al le lu ia, al le lu ia! Glo ry be to God on high;
Sing to God a hymn of glad ness, sing to God a hymn of praise.
Glo rious life, and life im mor tal, on this res ur rec tion morn.
Which will all its full a bun dance at His sec ond com ing yield:
Rain and dew and gleams of glo ry from the bright ness of Thy face;
Al le lu ia! to the Sav ior Who has gained the vic to ry;
He Who on the cross as Sav ior For the world’s sal va tion bled.
Christ has tri umphed, and we con quer By His might y en ter prise:
Then the gold en ears of har vest will their heads be fore Him wave,
That we, with our hearts in heav en, here on earth may fruit ful be,
Al le lu ia! to the Spir it, fount of love and sanc ti ty:
Je sus Christ, the King of glo ry, Now is ris en from the dead.
We with Him to life e ter nal By His res ur rec tion rise.
Rip ened by His glo rious sun shine from the fur rows of the grave.
And by an gel hands be gath ered, and be ev er, Lord, with Thee.
Al le lu ia, al le lu ia! to the Tri une Maj es ty.
