Lyrics

Sing we al­le­lu­ia
On this joyful day.
Jesus Christ is ris­en,
Men and an­gels say.

Refrain

Happy, hap­py East­er,
Loud and clear we sing;
Jesus Christ is ris­en,
Jesus Christ is King.

Refrain

Early in the morn­ing,
He who once was slain,
From the grave ar­is­ing
Rose to life again.

Refrain

Now He lives for­ev­er,
And He hears us sing,
By His re­sur­rect­ion
Death has lost its sting.
