1.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Hearts to heaven and voices raise;
Sing to God a hymn of gladness, Sing to God a hymn of praise;
He who on the cross a victim For the world's salvation bled,
Jesus Christ, the King of Glory, now is risen from the dead.
2.
Christ is risen, Christ the first-fruits Of the holy harvest field,
Which will all its full abundance At his second coming yield;
Then the golden ears of harvest Will their heads before him wave,
Ripened by his glorious sunshine From the furrows of the grave.
3.
Christ is risen; we are risen; Shed upon us heavenly grace,
Rain and dew, and dreams of glory From the brightness of Thy face,
That we, with our hearts in heaven, Here on earth may fruitful be,
And by angel hands be gathered, And be evermore with Thee.
4.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Glory be to God on high;
Alleluia to the Saviour, Who has gained the victory;
Alleluia to the Spirit, Fount of love and sanctity:
Alleluia! Alleluia To the Triune Majesty!
