Lyrics

Risen is our glo­ri­ous king,
Hallelujah! hal­le­lu­jah!
Shout till all the earth shall ring—
Hallelujah! hal­le­lu­jah!
Pealing thro’ the aisles of time,
Hear the East­er chant sub­lime,
Sounding forth in joy­ful chime—
Hallelujah! hal­le­lujah!

Refrain

Risen! ris­en ev­er­more!
Shout the news from shore to shore!
Christ the Migh­ty One adore,
Hallelujah! hal­le­lu­jah!

Swell the strains of vic­to­ry,
Hallelujah! hal­le­lujah!
Life eter­nal we shall see,
Hallelujah! hal­le­lu­jah!
Fill with prais­es ev­ery way,
Hail this re­sur­rec­tion day,
Crown the Christ who lives for aye,
Hallelujah! hal­lel­ujah!

Refrain

Risen is our glo­ri­ous king,
Hallelujah! hal­le­luj­ah!
From the tomb glad hope to spring,
Hallelujah! hal­le­lu­jah!
Shout aloud, O star­ry train,
Lives the Lord who once was slain;
Now tri­um­phant He shall reign,
Hallelujah! hal­le­lu­jah!
