Hallelujah, raise the song,
Jesus Christ is ris­en,
Let the Church the note pro­long,
Jesus Christ is ris­en!
Her lov­ing and tri­um­phant head,
Captivity has cap­tive led,
And ev­ery foe has van­quish­èd.
Hallelujah.

Hallelujah! let the cry,
Jesus Christ is ris­en,
Wake each harp string of the sky,
Jesus Christ is ris­en.
The seal­èd stone is rolled away,
Death and the grave have lost their prey,
For Je­sus Christ is ris’n to­day,
Hallelujah!

Hallelujah! dry the tear,
Jesus Christ is ris­en;
Sound o’er ev­ery si­lent bier,
Jesus Christ is ris­en!
Thrice bless­èd pledge, ye mourn­ers keep,
Who for your lost and loved ones weep,
Because He lives, they on­ly sleep.
Hallelujah!

Hallelujah! let the sound,
Jesus Christ is ris­en,
Circulate the world around,
Jesus Christ is ris­en!
Soon may the world’s great East­er be,
When, her now bond­aged child­ren free,
Exultant, Lord, shall reign with Thee,
Hallelujah!
