If you know the author, or where to get a good picture of him (head & shoulders, at least 200×300 pixels),
Once again with joyful voices,
Gather we to praise and pray;
Once again each heart rejoices,
On this happy Easter day.
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
Sing aloud a joyous lay.
Once again in adoration,
Bow we low before the throne;
Praise the God of our salvation,
Once declared the great unknown.
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
He is God, and God alone.
Once again with exultation,
Praise the Holy Spirit, too,
Who, in doubt and hesitation,
Points us to the right and true.
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
Everlasting praise is due.
Hallelujah to the Father,
Hallelujah to the Son,
Hallelujah to the Spirit,
Hallelujah, Three in One.
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
Christ is ris’n, and Heav’n is won.
