116. Alleluia! Alleluia!

1 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.

2 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.

3 Christ is risen! we are risen;
Shed upon us heavenly grace,
Rain and dew, and gleams of glory,
From the brightness of Thy face:
That we, Lord, with hearts in heaven,
Here on earth may fruitful be,
And by angel-hands be gathered,
And be ever safe with Thee.

4 Alleluia! alleluia!
Glory be to God on high,
Alleluia! to the Saviour,
Who has gained the victory;
Alleluia! to the Spirit,
Font of love and sanctity;
Alleluia! alleluia!
To the Triune Majesty.

Amen.
