  1. 1Lift up, lift up your voices now!
  2. The whole wide world rejoices now:
  3. The Lord hath triumphed gloriously.
  4. The Lord shall reign victoriously!
  5. 2In vain with stone the cave they barred;
  6. In vain the watch kept ward and guard;
  7. Majestic from the spoilèd tomb,
  8. In pomp of triumph Christ is come!
  9. 3He binds in chains the ancient foe;
  10. A countless host He frees from woe,
  11. And heaven's high portal open flies,
  12. For Christ has risen, and man shall rise.
  13. 4And all He did, and all He bare,
  14. He gives us as our own to share;
  15. And hope and joy and peace begin,
  16. For Christ has won, and man shall win.
  17. 5O Victor, aid us in the fight,
  18. And lead through death to realms of light;
  19. We safely pass where Thou hast trod;
  20. In Thee we die to rise to God.
  21. 6Thy flock, from sin and death set free,
  22. Glad Alleluias raise to Thee;
  23. And ever with the heavenly host
  24. Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
  25. 7Amen.
