gloriously crowned the victor’s brow;
Sing with gladness, banish sadness:
Alleluia, alleluia!

Jesus Christ has harrowed hell;
songs of praising we are raising:
Alleluia, alleluia!
3 On the third morning he arose,
shining with vict'ry o’er his foes;
earth is singing, heav'n is ringing:
Alleluia, alleluia!
4 Lord, by your wounds on you we call,
you by your death, have freed us all;
may our living be thanksgiving:
Alleluia, alleluia!
