Lyrics:

The Lord is risen indeed!  Hallelujah!
Now is Christ risen from the dead,
And become the first fruits of them that slept.  Hallelujah!
And did he rise?  Hear it, ye nations!  Hear it, O ye dead!
He rose, he burst the bars of death and triumphed o’er the grave.
Then I rose, then first humanity triumphant passed the crystal
ports of light, and siezed eternal youth.
Man all immortal hail, heaven all lavish of strange gifts to man,
Thine’s all the glory, man’s the boundless bliss.
