1.
Christ has arisen, alleluia!
Rejoice and praise him, alleluia,
for our redeemer burst from the tomb,
even from death, dispelling its gloom.

                Refrain:
                    Let us sing praise to him with endless joy.
                    Death's fearful sting he has come to destroy,
                    our sins forgiving, alleluia.
                    Christ has arisen, alleluia!

2.
For three long days the grave did its worst
until its strength by God was dispersed.
Christ who gives life did death undergo,
and in its conquest his might did show................(Refrain)

3.
The angel said to them, "Do not fear.
You look for Jesus who is not here.
See for yourselves, the tomb is all bare.
Only the grave cloths are lying there..................(Refrain)

4.
"Go spread the news; he's not in the grave.
He has arisen, mortals to save."
Jesus' redeeming labors are done.
Even the battle with sin is won...........................(Refrain)

5.
Christ has arisen to set us free.
Alleluia, to him praises be!
The power of Satan no longer binds,
nor can enslave the thoughts of our minds...........(Refrain)

6.
Jesus is living, let the earth sing.
He reigns triumphant, eternal king,
and he has promised those who believe
into his kingdom he will receive..........................(Refrain)
