Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
1 O sons and daughters, let us sing
with heavenly hosts to Christ our King;
today the grave has lost its sting!
Alleluia! Alleluia!
2 That Easter morn at break of day,
the faithful women went their way
to seek the tomb where Jesus lay.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
3 An angel clad in white they see,
who sits, and speaks unto the three,
"Your Lord will go to Galilee."
Alleluia! Alleluia!
4 That night the apostles met in fear;
among them came their Lord most dear,
and said, “My peace be with you here.”
Alleluia! Alleluia!
5 On this most holy day of days,
to God your hearts and voices raise,
in laud and jubilee and praise.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
