Lyrics

Praise we our God up­on His throne;
Praise we His sole be­got­ten Son,
Who for man­kind such deeds hath done.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

Death and the grave He leaves be­low;
Solace He brings for all our woe;
Darkness and sin He doth o’er­throw.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

Lord, on Thy throne be­yond the skies,
Since from the grave Thou didst arise,
Lead us, at last, to pa­ra­dise!
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
