Alleluia!
Our triumphant holy day,

Sinners to redeem and save.
Alleluia!
But the pains which He endured
Alleluia!
Our salvation have procured.
Alleluia!
Now above the sky He's King,
Alleluia!
Where the angels ever sing.

Sing we to our God above,
Alleluia!
Praise eternal as His love:

Praise Him, all ye heavenly host,
Alleluia!
Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
