Lyrics

The Lord hath ris­en, sing hal­le­lu­jah!
Hath ris’n to die no more;
Our king hath won the hard fought bat­tle,
And op­ened death’s dark door.

Refrain

Hallelujah! Hal­le­lu­jah!
Christ the Lord hath ris­en from the dead,
Let all the earth sing hal­le­lu­jah!
For Christ hath ris­en!
Hath ris­en from the dead.

The Lord hath ris­en, sing hal­le­lu­jah!
Our cap­tain from the skies;
His loy­al hosts still beck­on up­ward,
And we with Him shall rise.

Refrain

The Lord hath ris­en, sing hal­le­lu­jah!
A shin­ing path we tread,
In tri­umph thro’ death’s dark do­min­ions,
With Christ our liv­ing head.

Refrain

The Lord hath ris­en, sing hal­le­lu­jah!
To Christ the con­quer­or sing!
He lives, all po­wer to Him is giv­en—
All glo­ry to our king.
