1 Resucitó ya Cristo el Señor,
De infierno y muerte ya es vencedor:
Suenen pues himnos en su loor,
¡Aleluya!
2 Cristo muriendo salva a Israel;
Vive, y da vida a su pueblo fiel;
Y nuestra dicha está sólo en Él.
¡Aleluya!
3 Son sus heridas nuestra salud;
Y confirmados por su virtud
Siempre andaremos en rectitud.
¡Aleluya!
4 Nuestro rescate Cristo pagó;
Franca la puerta del cielo abrió;
Su gracia libre nos concedió.
¡Aleluya!
5 Suenen pues himnos en su loor,
Y celebremos su inmenso amor:
¡Cristo ha triunfado! ¡Gloria al Señor!
