| 1. | Christ is risen! Hallelujah! |
| | Risen our victorious Head; |
| | Sing His praises; Hallelujah! |
| | Christ is risen from the dead. |
| | Gratefully our hearts adore Him, |
| | As His light once more appears; |
| | Bowing down in joy before Him, |
| | Rising up from griefs and tears. |
| | Christ is risen: Hallelujah! |
| | Risen our victorious Head; |
| | Sing His praises; Hallelujah! |
| | Christ is risen from the dead. |
| 2. | Christ is risen! All the sadness |
| | Of His earthly life is o'er; |
| | Through the open gates of gladness |
| | He returns to life once more; |
| | Death and hell before Him bending, |
| | He doth rise the Victor now, |
| | Angels on His steps attending, |
| | Glory round His wounded brow. |
| 3. | Christ is risen! Henceforth never |
| | Death nor hell shall us enthrall; |
| | We are Christ's, in Him forever |
| | We have triumphed over all; |
| | All the doubting and dejection |
| | Of our trembling hearts have ceased, |
| | 'Tis His day of resurrection; |
| | Let us rise and keep the feast. |
