Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America ‎#100

100. Alleluia! Jesus lives!

1 Alleluia! Jesus lives!
Won the battle glorious!
From the gloomy vault of death
He hath come victorious,
Leading to their heavenly home
Countless multitudes to come. A-men.

2 Alleluia! O my soul,
Life eternal waits for thee;
Saved by him, the Living On,
Where he is, thou too shalt be,
Safe within the promised land,
With the Lord at God's right hand.

3 Alleluia! heavenly choirs
Joyfully their voices raise!
Let us mortals here below
Blend with theirs our songs of praise.
Glory to the eternal Son!
Glory to the Risen One!

Amen.
