Alleluia! Alleluia! Let the Holy Anthem Rise

1.

Alleluia! Alleluia!

Let the holy anthem rise,

And the choirs of heaven chant it

In the temple of the skies;

Let the mountains skip with gladness,

And the joyful valleys ring

With hosannas in the highest

To our Savior and our King!

2.

Alleluia! Alleluia!

Like the sun from out the wave,

He has risen up in triumph

From the darkness of the grave.

He’s the splendor of the nations,

He’s the lamp of endless day;

He’s the very Lord of glory

Who is risen up today!

3.

Alleluia! Alleluia!

He has burst our prison bars;

He has lifted up the portals

Of our home beyond the stars:

He has won for us our freedom,

’Neath his feet our foes are trod;

He has purchased back our birthright

To the kingdom of our God!

4.

Alleluia! Alleluia!

Blessed Jesus, make us rise

From the life of this corruption

To the life that never dies.

May your glory be our portion,

When the days of time are past,

And the dead shall be awakened

By the trumpet’s mighty blast!
