Alleluia, Christ is risen by Dudley Buck — Lyrics
1. Alleluia! Alleluia!
Hearts to heav'n 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.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
2. Now the prison bars are broken,
Christ from death to life is born,
Glorious life, and life immortal,
On the holy Easter morn:
Christ has triumphed, and we conquer;
By his mighty enterprise,
We with Him to life eternal
By His resurrection rise.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
