1 Let us sing Al­le­luia to­day!
For the tri­umph is won,
And the bat­tle is done;
Christ now op­ens the heav­en­ly way.

Refrain:
O come to His tem­ple with sing­ing,
Hear the glad re­sur­rect­ion bells ring­ing.
Alleluia! Re­joice! Alleluia! Re­joice!

2 Let us sing Al­le­luia to­day!
He who suf­fered and bled
Is first-born from the dead;
See the place where the Sav­ior once lay. [Refrain]

3 Let us sing Al­le­luia to­day!
For be­fore it was light
Came a mes­sen­ger bright,
And the stone from the tomb rolled away. [Refrain]

4 Let us sing Al­le­luia to­day!
By His own will and might
Christ hath put death to flight,
And has spoil­èd the grave of its prey. [Refrain]

5 Let us sing Al­le­luia to­day!
For thanks­giv­ing and song
To the Vic­tor be­long,
Who a con­quer­or comes from the fray. [Refrain]

In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries. Go to person page >
