a79. Hallelujah! Lo, He wakes!

1 Hallelujah! Lo, He wakes!
Lives! o'er death and hell victorious;
Earth in awe with trembling quakes,
As the hero rises glorious;
He who died on Golgotha,
Jesus lives, Hallelujah!

2 Hallelujah! see the tomb,
Ye, who o'er His death are pining:
Dry your tears, to joy give room,
While the radiant sun is shining.
Hear the angel's Gloria!
Jesus lives, Hallelujah!

3 Hallelujah! why seek ye
Yet among the dead the living?
Christ is ris'n in majesty!
Hence away with gloomy grieving,
Join with her of Magdala:
Jesus lives, Hallelujah!

4 Hallelujah! then I cry;
Christ too will from death restore me,
Take me to His throne on high,
Whither He has gone before me.
Faith exults: Victoria!
Jesus lives! Hallelujah!
