Lyrics

Hark! the spring­tide breez­es
Pass the news along,
Jesus Christ has ris­en,
Fill the world with song;
Earth and all her voic­es sing
Glad hosannas to the King,
Praises to our Lord we bring,
Hallelujah!

Refrain

Glory, hal­le­lu­jah!
Praise the vic­tor King,
Who to all His peo­ple
Life and light doth bring,
Glory, hal­le­lu­jah!
Praise the vic­tor King,
Who to all His peo­ple
Life and light doth bring.

Finished is the con­flict,
All the battles o’er,
Peace that pass­eth know­ledge
Comes to us once more,
Raise your notes of tri­umph high,
Jesus lives no more to die,
Earth and Heav’n with joy re­ply,
Hallelujah!

Refrain

Golden gates are lift­ed,
Doors stand op­en wide,
Lo! the King is stand­ing
At His Fa­ther’s side,
In the land of end­less light
Angels praise Him, day and night,
Crown Him ev­er Lord of might,
Hallelujah!

Refrain

Hallelujah! Hal­le­lu­jah!
