Alleluia! Alleluia!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Hearts to heaven and voices raise;
Sing to God a hymn of gladness, Sing to God a hymn of praise;
He who on the cross a Victim
For the world’s salvation bled, Jesus Christ, the King of Glory,
Now is risen from the dead.
Christ is risen, Christ the first fruit Of the holy harvest field,
Which will all its abundance At the second coming field.
Then the golden ears of harvest
Will their heads before Him wave, Ripened by His glorious sunshine
From the furrows of the grave.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Glory to the Three in One:
To the Father, and the Savior, Who the victory has won;
Glory to the Holy Spirit,
Fount of love and sanctity; Alleluia! Alleluia!
To the Triune Majesty.
