Christ, our hope has risen! He has overcome the powers of death and the grave.
He shed his most holy blood, for sinners to redeem and to save.
Our mighty Lord was victorious over the devil, for he has crushed his head.
Sing the song of victory; “Christ has triumphed by being raised from the dead!”

The grave lost it’s power to hold him, death lost it’s awful sting.
As he stepped forth, all heaven and earth welcomed with joy, the risen King.
“All praise be given to Jesus! He lives. Yes he lives, no more to die.
Let his name be forever praised and be blessed and lifted on high.

This is a time of joy, banish all sorrow. Let no one this day weep.
Rejoice O’ saints, Jesus is the first fruits of all who have fallen asleep.
For us, Jesus bore the cross and for us, he endured the pain and strife.
He has broken the hold of death, and has opened the way to eternal life.

Jesus’ triumph and victory over the devil, sin and the grave is ours as well.
He has won the battle over all the forces of hell.
Because the devil has been cast down in overwhelming defeat.
He has been crushed and placed under our feet.

O’ blessed and holy day! On this day, there is no sadness.
All creation welcomes it’s Lord and Master with joy and gladness.
The feast of Easter triumph goes on without end.
The song goes on; “Holy victory! Christ Jesus triumphed again!”

Alleluia! Praise be to Jesus! The heavens declare the glory of the King.
To him, the Church gives it’s praises, to him,. Let all to Christ, sing.
Blessed be to the Lord Jesus! Jesus our eternal hope now and forevermore.
Blessed be the Lord Jesus, whom the angels and saints praise and adore.

All praise to Jesus, who rose on Easter day. May he be praised by all creation.
Glory and honor be given to the God of all life and of salvation.
Worship him, O’ creation and all the heavenly host.
Praise be given to the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost.
