Hymn of the Resurrection

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
Christ is risen from the dead
and will die no more.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia

Despite the tomb’s heavy stone,
the sorrowful sin of this world,
the guards keeping watch over your body,
you are risen, Lord, our God.

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
Christ is risen from the dead
and will die no more.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia

To the women who came to the tomb,
an angel spoke of your resurrection.
You became the disciples’ companion,
and in Emmaus, you broke bread with them.

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
Christ is risen from the dead
and will die no more.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia

Despite the closed doors and fear,
you appeared to the gathered disciples,
gave them power to forgive,
and offered them your peace.

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
Christ is risen from the dead
and will die no more.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia

Today, throughout the world, with faith,
we celebrate your resurrection.
From the depths of our hearts we confess,
you are our Lord and our God.

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
Christ is risen from the dead
and will die no more.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
