Alleluia! Alleluia! Hearts to heaven and voices raise

Author: Christopher Wordsworth (1807-1885) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 224 hymnals Topics: Other Saints and Festivals Mary Magdalene Lyrics: 1 Alleluia! Alleluia! Hearts to heaven and voices raise; sing to God a hymn of gladness, sing to God a hymn of praise: he who on the cross a victim for the world's salvation bled, Jesus Christ, the King of glory, now is risen from the dead. 2 Christ is risen, Christ the first-fruits of the holy harvest field, which will all its full abundance at his second coming yield; then the golden ears of harvest will their heads before him wave, ripened by his glorious sunshine, from the furrows of the grave. 3 Christ is risen, we are risen; shed upon us heavenly grace, rain, and dew, and gleams of glory from the brightness of thy face; that we, with our hearts in heaven, here on earth may fruitful be, and by angel-hands be gathered, and be ever, Lord, with thee. 4 Alleluia! Alleluia! Glory be to God on high; Alleluia to the Saviour, who has gained the victory; Alleluia to the Spirit, fount of love and sanctity; Alleluia! Alleluia! to the Triune Majesty.

The cross he took he laid not down until he grasped the martyr's crown. 4 O bright triumphant faith, O courage void of fears, O love most strong in death, O penitential tears!
