        1. Jesus Christ Is risen today,
        Alleluia!
        Our triumphant holy day,
        Alleluia!
        Who did once upon the cross
        Alleluia!
        Suffer to redeem our loss.
        Alleluia!
        
        2. Hymns of praise, then, let us sing
        Alleluia!
        Unto Christ, our heavenly King,
        Alleluia!
        Who endured the cross and grave
        Alleluia!
        Sinners to redeem and save.
        Alleluia!
        
        3. But the pains which He endured
        Alleluia!
        Our salvation have procured.
        Alleluia!
        Now above the sky He's King,
        Alleluia!
        Where the angels ever sing.
        Alleluia!
        
        4. Sing we to our God above,
        Alleluia!
        Praise eternal as His love:
        Alleluia!
        Praise Him, all ye heavenly host,
        Alleluia!
        Father, Son. and Holy Ghost.
        Alleluia!
