1 Good Christian friends, rejoice and sing! Now is the triumph of our King! To all the world glad news we bring: Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! 2 The Lord of life is risen for aye; Bring flowers of song to strew His way; Let all mankind rejoice and say: Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! 3 Praise we in songs of victory That love, that life which cannot die, And sing with hearts uplifted high: Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! 4 Thy name we bless, O risen Lord, And sing today with one accord The life laid down, the life restored: Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
