Hearts to Heaven and Voices Raise

Alleluia

al­le­luia!

Hearts to Heav­en and voic­es raise:

Sing to God a hymn of glad­ness

Sing to God a hymn of praise.

He

who on the cross a vic­tim

For the world’s sal­va­tion bled

Jesus Christ

the King of glo­ry

Now is ris­en from the dead.

Now the ir­on bars are brok­en

Christ from death to life is born

Glorious life

and life im­mor­tal

On the ho­ly East­er morn.

Christ has tri­umphed

and we con­quer

By His migh­ty en­ter­prise:

We with Him to life eter­nal

By His re­sur­rect­ion rise.

Christ is ris­en

Christ the first-fruits

Of the ho­ly har­vest field

Which will all its full abun­dance

At His se­cond com­ing yield:

Then the gold­en ears of har­vest

Will their heads be­fore Him wave

Ripened by His glo­ri­ous sun­shine

From the fur­rows of the grave.

Christ is ris­en

we are ris­en.

Shed upon us heav’n­ly grace

Rain and dew and gleams of glo­ry

From the bright­ness of Thy face;

That we

with our hearts in Heav­en

Here on earth may fruit­ful be

And by an­gel hands be ga­thered

And be ev­er

Lord

with Thee.

Alleluia

al­le­lu­ia!

Glory be to God on high;

Alleluia! to the Sav­ior

Who has gained the vic­to­ry;

Alleluia! to the Spir­it

Fount of love and sanc­ti­ty:

Alleluia

al­le­lu­ia!

To the Tri­une Ma­jes­ty.
