1 El Señor resucitó, ¡Aleluya!
Muerte y tumba él venció, ¡Aleluya!
Su poder y su virtud, ¡Aleluya!
Cautivó la esclavitud. ¡Aleluya!
2 El que al polvo se humilló, ¡Aleluya!
Vencedor se levantó. ¡Aleluya!
Y cantamos en verdad, ¡Aleluya!
Su gloriosa majestad. ¡Aleluya!
3 El que a muerte se entregó, ¡Aleluya!
El que así nos redimió, ¡Aleluya!
Hoy en gloria celestial, ¡Aleluya!
Reina en vida triunfal. ¡Aleluya!
4 Cristo nuestro Salvador, ¡Aleluya!
De la muerte vencedor, ¡Aleluya!
Pronto vamos sin cesar ¡Aleluya!
Tus loores a cantar. ¡Aleluya!

1 Jesus Christ is ris'n today, Alleluia!
Our triumphant holy day, Alleluia!
Who did once upon the cross, Alleluia!

Unto Christ, our heav'nly King, Alleluia!
Who endured the cross and grave, Alleluia!
Sinners to redeem and save. Alleluia!
