The New English Hymnal ‎#107

107. Good Christian men, rejoice and sing!

1 Good Christian men, rejoice and sing!
Now is the triumph of our King:
To all the world glad news we bring:
Alleluya!

2 The Lord of Life is risen for ay:
Bring flowers of song to strew his way;
Let all mankind rejoice and say:
Alleluya!

3 Praise we in songs of victory
That Love, that Life, which cannot die,
And sing with hearts uplifted high:
Alleluya!

4 Thy name we bless, O risen Lord,
And sing today with one accord
The life laid down, the life restored:
Alleluya!
