Alleluia! Christ 10 risen:
Lift your joyous voices high,
Alleluia! Christ Is risen!
Echo land and sea and sky.
Gone the hours of tragic sorrow
Piercing anguish of the cross:
Bitter grief at stone-barred tomb-dool
Dumb despair and utter loss.
Come the wondrous resurrection
For the world ransom free.
Alleluia, Christ is risen!
Hail the glorious victory.
