Lyrics

The Lord has aris’n on high,
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
Salvation to men brought nigh,
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
Death’s power is rent in twain,
The grave in its might is slain,
Jesus lives again,
Hail His glorious reign,
Hallelujah, hallelujah.

Refrain

Hallelujah, hallelujah,
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
He is risen, all victorious,
Praise to His glorious name;
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
He is risen, hallelujah,
Praise His name.

The kingdom of Heav’n brought near,
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
And peace by His pow’r is here,
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
For men salvation won,
The fear of the grave is gone,
Christ is on the throne,
Hail the risen Son,
Hallelujah, hallelujah.

Refrain

He came to the lone and sad,
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
He bids every heart be glad,
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
Sing praise to Jesus’ name,
Sing forth with a loud acclaim,
For mankind He came,
Suffered death and shame,
Hallelujah, hallelujah.
