1 Jesus Christ is risen today, hallelujah!
our triumphant holy day, hallelujah!
who did once upon the cross, hallelujah!
suffer to redeem our loss, hallelujah!
2 Hymns of praise then let us sing hallelujah!
unto Christ our heavenly King, hallelujah!
who endured the cross and grave, hallelujah!
sinners to redeem and save, hallelujah!
3 But the pains which he endured hallelujah!
our salvation have procured; hallelujah!
now above the sky he's King, hallelujah!
where the angels ever sing, hallelujah!
4 Sing we to our God above, hallelujah!
praise eternal as his love; hallelujah!
praise him, all ye heavenly host, hallelujah!
Father, Son and Holy Ghost. hallelujah!

FRENCH -
Brisant ses liens funèbres, alléluia!
Christ est sorti des ténèbres, alléluia!
le ciel, la terre ont chanté, alléluia!
Jésus est ressuscité, alléluia!
2 Les soldats, le sceau, la pierre, alléluia!
n’ont pu le garder en terre, alléluia!
et c’est pour nous qu’aujourd’hui, alléluia!
le ciel s’ouvre devant lui! alléluia!
3 Il vit notre roi de gloire! alléluia!
sépulcre, où est ta victoire? alléluia!
le Christ est le vainqueur fort, alléluia!
qui triomphe sur la mort, alléluia!
4 Puisque ta mort fut suivie, alléluia!
du triomphe de la vie, alléluia!
Je veux, ô mon divin Roi, alléluia!
mourir et naître avec toi! alléluia!
