Good Christians All, Rejoice and Sing!

1.  Good Christians all, rejoice and sing!
    Now is the triumph of our King!
    To all the world glad news we bring:
    Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

2.  The Lord of life is risen today! 
    Bring flowers of song, bedeck the way;
    Let every tongue rejoice and say:
    Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

3.  Praise we in songs of victory
    That love, that life which cannot die,
    And sing with hearts uplifted high:
    Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

4.  Thy name we bless, O risen Lord,
    And sing today with one accord
    The life laid down, the life restored:
    Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
