1 Once again with joyful voices,
Gather we to praise and pray;
Once again each heart rejoices,
On this happy Easter day.
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
Sing aloud a joyous lay.
2 Once again in adoration,
Bow we low before the throne;
Praise the God of our salvation,
Once declared "the great unknown."
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
He is God, and God alone.
3 Once again with exultation,
Praise the Holy Spirit, too,
Who, in doubt and hesitation,
Points us to the right and true.
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
Everlasting praise is due.
4 Hallelujah to the Father,
Hallelujah to the Son,
Hallelujah to the Spirit,
Hallelujah, Three in One.
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
Christ is ris’n, and Heav’n is won.
