Common Praise ‎#145

145. Good Christians all, rejoice and sing!

1 Good Christians all, rejoice and sing!
Now is the triumph of our King.
To all the world glad news we bring:
Alleluia.

2 The Lord of Life is risen for ay:
bring flowers of song to strew his way;
let all the earth rejoice and say
Alleluia.

3 Praise we in songs of victory
that Love, that Life, which cannot die,
and sing with hearts uplifted high
Alleluia.

4 The name we bless, O risen Lord,
and sing to-day with one accord
the life laid down, the life restored:
Alleluia.
