Risen is our glorious king,
Hallelujah! hallelujah!
Shout till all the earth shall ring—
Hallelujah! hallelujah!
Pealing thro’ the aisles of time,
Hear the Easter chant sublime,
Sounding forth in joyful chime—
Hallelujah! hallelujah!
Refrain
Risen! risen evermore!
Shout the news from shore to shore!
Christ the Mighty One adore,
Hallelujah! hallelujah!
Swell the strains of victory,
Hallelujah! hallelujah!
Life eternal we shall see,
Hallelujah! hallelujah!
Fill with praises every way,
Hail this resurrection day,
Crown the Christ who lives for aye,
Hallelujah! hallelujah!
Refrain
Risen is our glorious king,
Hallelujah! hallelujah!
From the tomb glad hope to spring,
Hallelujah! hallelujah!
Shout aloud, O starry train,
Lives the Lord who once was slain;
Now triumphant He shall reign,
Hallelujah! hallelujah!
