255. Good Christians All, Rejoice

1 Good Christians all, 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 risen today;
death's mighty stone is rolled away:
let every tongue rejoice and say:
"Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!"

3 We praise 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!"
