The Cyber Hymnal ‎#8576

8576. Angels, Shout Your Alleluias

1 Angels, shout your alleluias,
Loud and long your trumpets blow,
Christ your king returns from Hades,
He has trampled down the foe.

Refrain:
Alleluia, alleluia,
Be our rising God adored;
Alleluia, alleluia,
Keep a feast day to the Lord.

2 Virgin mother, cease thy weeping,
Hail the God whom thou didst fear;
Of His woe thou wert partaker,
Now His gladness thou shalt share. [Refrain]

3 Seek no more thy lifeless Savior,
He is risen, Magdalene!
Doubt no longer, sad apostles,
Soon by you He will be seen. [Refrain]

4 Sinners, weeping with contrition,
Ye may peace and pardon win;
He is risen whose name is Jesus,
He will save you from your sin. [Refrain]
