Alleluia! Al­le­lu­ia! Al­le­lu­ia!
Now all the bells are ring­ing
To wel­come East­er day,
And we with joy are sing­ing
Our ca­rol sweet and gay;
For Je­sus hath aris­en
From Jo­seph’s rocky cave,
Hath burst His three days’ pri­son,
And tri­umphed o’er the grave.
Alleluia! Al­le­lu­ia! Al­le­lu­ia!

Alleluia! Al­le­lu­ia! Al­le­lu­ia!
O hast­en we to meet Him,
With our com­pan­ions dear,
With love and awe to greet Him,
As He is draw­ing near;
Of old His friends were bid­den
To haste to Ga­li­lee;
Still in His Church, all glo­ri­ous,
Our ris­en Lord will be.
Alleluia! Al­le­lu­ia! Al­le­lu­ia!

Alleluia! Al­le­lu­ia! Al­le­lu­ia!
Still, Je­sus! we adore Thee
With faith which may not fail;
Still as we kneel be­fore Thee,
We hear Thee say, All hail!
Thou, who art now des­cend­ing
To raise us up to Thee,
An East­er­tide un­end­ing,
Grant us in Heav’n to see.
Alleluia! Al­le­lu­ia! Al­le­lu­ia!
