1 Christ the Lord is risen today, Alleluia!
Sons of men and angels say, Alleluia!
Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia!
Sing, ye heavens and earth reply, Alleluia!

2 Hail the Lord of earth and heaven, Alleluia!
Praise to thee by man be given, Alleluia!
Thee we greet triumphant now, Alleluia!
And with praise before thee bow, Alleluia!
