Alleluia! Hearts to heaven by Thurlow Weed — Lyrics
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Hearts [and voices heavenward/to heaven and voices] raise:
Sing to God a hymn of gladness,
Sing to God a hymn of praise:
He, who on the cross a victim,
For the world's salvation bled,
Jesus Christ, the King of glory,
Now is risen from the dead.
Now the iron bars are broken,
Christ from death to life is born,
Glorious life, and life immortal,
On this holy Easter morn:
Christ has triumphed, and we conquer
By his mighty enterprise,
We with him to life eternal
By his resurrection rise.
Christ is risen, Christ, the firstfruits
Of the holy harvestfield,
Which will all its full abundance
At his second coming yield:
