1 Christ the Lord is risen again, Alleluia!
Christ has broken death's strong chain, Alleluia!
Hark, the angels shout for joy,, Alleluia!
Singing evermore on high: Alleluia!

2 He who gave for us His life, Alleluia!
Who for us endured the strife, Alleluia!
Is our Paschal Lamb today, Alleluia!
We, too, sing for joy, and say: Alleluia!

3 He who slumbered in the grave, Alleluia!
Is exalted now to save; Alleluia!
Now through Christendom it rings, Alleluia!
That the Lamb is King of kings! Alleluia!

4 Now He bids us tell man-kind Alleluia!
How all may salvation find, Alleluia!
How poor sinners are forgiven, Alleluia!
And through faith may enter heaven: Alleluia!

Amen.
