435. Jesus Christ is risen today, Alleluia

1 Jesus Christ is risen today, Alleluia.
our triumphant holy day, Alleluia.
who did once, upon the cross, Alleluia.
suffer to redeem our loss. Alleluia.

2 Hymns of joy then let us sing, Alleluia.
praising Christ, our heavenly King, Alleluia.
who endured the cross and grave, Alleluia.
sinners to redeem and save. Alleluia.

3 But the pains which He endured, Alleluia.
our salvation have procured; Alleluia.
now above the sky He's King, Alleluia.
where the angels ever sing. Alleluia.

4 Sing we to our God above Alleluia.
praise eternal as His love; Alleluia.
praise Him, all ye heavenly host, Alleluia.
Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Alleluia.
