1 On East­er morn Christ rose again,
Rejoice, rej­oice, good Christ­ian men;
Alleluia, Al­le­lu­ia!
But two days since He deigned to die,
That we no more in death may lie.
Alleluia, Al­le­lu­ia!

2 The ho­ly wo­men to the tomb
With gifts of pre­cious oint­ment come;
Alleluia, Al­le­lu­ia!
They seek with­in the guard­ed grave
The Lord, who died man­kind to save.
Alleluia, Al­le­lu­ia!

3 An an­gel clad in white ap­pears,
Who brings glad tid­ings to their ears;
Alleluia, Al­le­lu­ia!
"Ye trem­bling daugh­ters, do not fear;
Ye seek the Christ—He is not here."
Alleluia, Al­le­lu­ia!

4 Go, bid the glad dis­ci­ples see
Their ris­en Lord in Ga­li­lee;
Alleluia, Al­le­lu­ia!
Of Si­mon Pe­ter, next, I ween,
Then of th’e­lev­en, He was seen.
Alleluia, Al­le­lu­ia!

5 This time of ho­ly pas­chal joy,
In hymns to Christ let all em­ploy;
Alleluia, Al­le­lu­ia!
The Ho­ly Trin­ity be praised,
Glad thanks to God Al­migh­ty raised.
Alleluia, Al­le­lu­ia!
