270. Good Christian Men, Rejoice and Sing!
1 Good Christian men, rejoice and sing!
Now is the triumph of our King!
To all the world glad news we bring:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
2 The Lord of life is ris'n for aye;
Bring flow'rs of song to strew his way;
Let all mankind rejoice and say:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
3 Praise we in songs of victory
That love, that life, which cannot die,
And sing with hearts uplifted high:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
4 Your name we bless, O risen Lord,
And sing today with one accord
The life laid down, the life restored:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
