Hearts and voices heav'nward raise:
Sing to God a hymn of gladness,
Sing to God a hymn of praise.
Christ, 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 Now the iron bars are broken,
Christ from death to life is born,
Glorious life and life immortal,
On that holy Easter morn.
Christ has triumphed, and we conquer
By this mighty enterprise,
We with Christ to life eternal
By his resurrection rise.
3 Christ is risen, we are risen!
Shed upon us heav'nly grace,
Rain and dew and gleams of glory
From your holy radiant face;
That, with hearts in heaven dwelling,
We on earth, your servants true,
Will by angel hands be gathered,
And be ever, Lord, with you.
4 Alleluia! Alleluia!
Glory be to God on high;
Alleluia to the Savior
Who has won the victory;
Alleluia to the Spirit,
Fount of love and sanctity;
Alleluia! Alleluia!
To the Triune Majesty. Topics: Resurrection; The Liturgical Year Easter (Sundays and Weekdays) Used With Tune: HYMN TO JOY
Alleluia! Alleluia!
