16552. Let Us Sing Alleluia Today

1 Let us sing Al­le­luia to­day!
For the tri­umph is won,
And the bat­tle is done;
Christ now op­ens the heav­en­ly way.

Refrain:
O come to His tem­ple with sing­ing,
Hear the glad re­sur­rect­ion bells ring­ing.
Alleluia! Re­joice! Alleluia! Re­joice!

2 Let us sing Al­le­luia to­day!
He who suf­fered and bled
Is first-born from the dead;
See the place where the Sav­ior once lay. [Refrain]

3 Let us sing Al­le­luia to­day!
For be­fore it was light
Came a mes­sen­ger bright,
And the stone from the tomb rolled away. [Refrain]

4 Let us sing Al­le­luia to­day!
By His own will and might
Christ hath put death to flight,
And has spoil­èd the grave of its prey. [Refrain]

5 Let us sing Al­le­luia to­day!
For thanks­giv­ing and song
To the Vic­tor be­long,
Who a con­quer­or comes from the fray. [Refrain]
