Alleluia! Christ is risen by Alexander Kopylov — Lyrics
Ice has gone from all the rivers,
Cypress trees begin to bloom;
Now the wood dove coos his spring song,
Gone the days of dark and gloom
Peasants in the field are planting,
Singing as they drop the seed:
Alleluia! Christ is risen,
Christ the Lord is ris'n indeed!

About Alleluia! Christ is risen
This jubilant anthem, Alleluia! Christ is risen, by Alexander Kopylov, is a radiant proclamation of Easter joy. Set for SATB choir, its English text evokes the vibrant rebirth of spring, mirroring the theological significance of Christ's resurrection. The lyrics paint vivid scenes of nature awakening – rivers thawing, trees blooming, and birdsong returning – alongside the hopeful toil of peasants planting their fields. This imagery beautifully underscores the central message of triumph over darkness and the promise of new life. The music captures the exultant spirit of the season, making it an ideal choice for Easter services and celebrations, bringing a message of hope and renewal to the congregation.
