XXVII. Christ's Victory over Death

1 Jesus Christ is ris'n to-day, Hallelujah,
Our triumphant holiday, Hallelujah,
Who so lately on the cross, Hallelujah,
Suffer'd to redeem my loss, Hallelujah.

2 Hymns of praises let us sing, Hallelujah,
Unto Christ our heav'nly King, Hallelujah,
Who endur'd the cross and grave, Hallelujah,
Sinners to redeem and save, Hallelujah.

3 But the pains which he endur'd, Hallelujah,
Our salvation hath procur'd, Hallelujah,
Now he reigns above the sky, Hallelujah,
Where the angels ever cry, Hallelujah.
