Christ the Lord is risen today, alleluia
Sons of men and angels say, alleluia
Raise your voice and triumphs high, alleluia
Sing ye heavens and earth reply, alleluia

Vain the stone the watch the seal, alleluia
Christ has burst the gates of hell, alleluia 

Death in vain forbids His rise, alleluia
Christ has opened Paradise, alleluia

Lives again our glorious King, alleluia
Where O death is now thy sting, alleluia
Once he died our souls to save, alleluia
Where thy victory O grave, alleluia

Soar we now where Christ has led, alleluia 
Following our exalted, Head, alleluia
Made like Him, like Him we rise, alleluia
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies, alleluia
