Raise your joys and triumphs high,
Alleluia!
Sing, O heavens, and earth reply,
Alleluia!

Lives again our glorious King,
Alleluia!
Where, O death, is now your sting?
Alleluia!
Jesus died, our souls to save,
Alleluia!
Where your victory, O grave?
Alleluia!

Love’s redeeming work is done,
Alleluia!
Fought the fight, the battle won,
Alleluia!
Death in vain forbids him rise,
Alleluia!
Christ has opened paradise.
Alleluia!

Soar we now where Christ has led,
Alleluia!
Following our exalted Head,
Alleluia!
Made like him, like him we rise,
Alleluia!
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies,
Alleluia!
