Lyrics

Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Now all the bells are ringing
To welcome Easter Day,
And we with joy are singing
Our carol sweet and gay;
For Jesus hath arisen
From Joseph's rocky cave,
Hat burst His tree days' prison,
And triumphed o'er the grave.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
O hasten we to meet Him
With our companions dear,
With love and awe to greet Him,
As He is drawing near;
Once dead, our Jesus liveth
Who ne'er again may die,
Yet still His death He pleadeth
Before the throne on high.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Still, Jesus! we adore Thee
With faith which may not fail;
Still, as wee kneel before Thee,
We hear Thee say, "All hail!"
Thou, who art now descending
To raise us up to Thee,
And Eastertide unending
Grant us in heav'n to see.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
