201. Alleluia! Alleluia! Hearts to Heaven

1 Alleluia! Alleluia!
Hearts to heav'n and voices raise;
Sing to God a hymn of gladness,
Sing to God a hymn of praise.
Jesus on the cross as Savior
For the world's salvation bled;
But the crucified Redeemer
Now is risen from the dead!

2 Now the iron bars are broken,
Christ from death to life is born;
Glorious life, and life immortal,
On this holy Easter morn;
Christ has triumphed, and we conquer
By God's liberating deed;
Now the Christ with us abiding
To eternal life shall lead.

3 Christ is risen, we are risen;
Shed upon us heav'nly grace,
Rain and dew, and gleams of glory
From the brightness of Your face;
That we, with our hearts in heaven,
Here on earth may fruitful be,
And by angel hands be gathered,
And be Yours eternally.

4 Alleluia! Alleluia!
Glory to the God of joy;
Alleluia to the Savior
Who came death's bonds to destroy;
Alleluia to the Spirit,
Fount of love and sanctity;
Alleluia! Alleluia!
To the Triune Majesty.
