Lyrics
Sound the trumpet, sound the trumpet, Christ the Lord is risen today!
Sound the trumpet, sound the trumpet, Sons of men and angels say:
Sound the trumpet, Alleluia! Sound the trumpet, Alleluia!
Raise your joys and triumphs high, Sing, ye heavens and earth reply:
Sound the trumpet, sound the trumpet, Christ the Lord is risen today!
For three days our thoughts remained at the cross;
For three days our hearts felt that all might be lost.
By then came the news that quickly spread:
Our Lord arose from the dead.
Sound the trumpet, sound the trumpet, Christ the Lord is risen today!
Raise your joys and triumphs high, Sing, ye heavens, and earth reply:
Sound the trumpet, sound the trumpet, Christ the Lord is risen today!
Christ, the Lord, is risen today, Alleluia!
Sons of men and angels say, Alleluia!
Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia!
Sing, ye heavens, and earth, reply, Alleluia!
Lives again our glorious King, Alleluia!
Where, O death, is now thy sting? Alleluia!
Once He died our souls to save, Alleluia!
Where thy victory, O grave? Alleluia!
Love’s redeeming work is done, Alleluia!
Fought the fight, the battle won, Alleluia!
Lo! the Sun’s eclipse is over, Alleluia!
Lo! He sets in blood no more, Alleluia!
Soar we now where Christ hath led, Alleluia!
Following our exalted Head, Alleluia!
Made like Him, like Him we rise, Alleluia!
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies, Alleluia!
Sound the trumpet, sound the trumpet, Christ the Lord is risen today!
