Lyrics
Verse 1
Christ, the Lord, is ris'n today,
Hallelujah!
Sons of men and angels say,
Hallelujah!
Raise your joys and triumphs high
Hallelujah!
Sing, ye heav'ns and earth, reply,
Hallelujah!
Verse 2
Vain the stone, the watch, the seal,
Hallelujah!
Christ hath burst the gates of hell,
Hallelujah!
Death in vain forbids His rise,
Hallelujah!
Christ hath opened paradise,
Hallelujah!
Verse 3
Lives again our glorious King,
Hallelujah!
Where, o death, is now thy sting?
Hallelujah!
Once He died our souls to save,
Hallelujah!
Where's thy vict'ry, boasting grave?
Hallelujah!
