Hallelujah ! hallelujah ! Hearts to heaven and voices raise ; . .. Sing to God a Hymns of gladness, Sing to God a Hymns 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.
2. Christ is risen, Christ the first-fruits Of the holy harvest-field ; . . . Which will all its full abundance At His glorious advent yield; . . . Then the golden ears of harvest Will their heads before Him wave, Ripened by His glorious sunshine From the furrows of the grave.
3. Hallelujah ! hallelujah ! Glory be to God on high ! . . . Hallelujah to the Saviour, Who has gained the victory; . . . Hallelujah to the Spirit; Let our high ascriptions be, Hallelujah, now and ever, To the blessed Trinity !
