The Celebration Hymnal

365

Alleluia! Alleluia!

1 Alleluia! Alleluia!  
Hearts to heav'n and voices raise;  
Sing to God a hymn of gladness,  
Sing to God a hymn of praise.  
He who on the cross as Savior  
For the world's salvation bled,  
Jesus Christ, the King of Glory,  
Now is risen from the dead.  

2 Now the iron bars are broken,  
Christ from death to life is born;  
Glorious life, and life immortal,  
On this resurrection morn.  
Christ has triumphed, and we conquer  
By His mighty enterprise;  
We with Him to life eternal  
By His resurrection rise.
