R. Jesus, raised from among the dead,
All the world sings glory to You ;
Jesus, raised from among the dead,
All the world cries out Alleluia!
1. Easter morning came,
In the silence of dawn,
When our hope had gone, when our hearts were forlorn :
Christ is risen, rejoice !
2. Let the earth rejoice,
Let the universe dance,
Death is conquered now, let salvation advance,
Christ is risen, rejoice !
3. Loving till the end,
You accepted the cross,
But then from the tomb, life is given to us,
Christ is risen, rejoice !
4. Sing a new song,
Sing his praises above,
We are saved from death by the power of his love,
Christ is risen, rejoice !
5. Let us all exult,
Let the countryside sing ;
All creation, come to give praise to your king,
Christ is risen, rejoice !
