now is the Victor's triumph won;
now be the song of praise begun,
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
2 The powers of death have done their worst,
but Christ their legions has dispersed,
let shouts of holy joy outburst,
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
3 The three sad days are quickly sped,
he rises glorious from the dead;
all glory to our risen Head!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
4 He broke the bonds of death and hell:
the bars from heaven's gateways fell;
let hymns of praise his triumph tell.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
5 Lord, by the painful wounds you bore,
death lost its sting for evermore;
living in you, our praises soar.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Topics: Life in Christ Christ Risen - Resurrection and Exaltation; Christian Year Easter Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:4 Languages: English Tune Title: VULPIUS (GELOBT SEI GOTT)
