Lyrics
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
O sons and daughters, let us sing
With heav'nly hosts to Christ our king
Today the grave has lost its sting
Alleluia
That Easter morn, at break of day
A faithful woman went her way
To seek the tomb where Jesus lay
Alleluia
When Mary's heart was filled with gloom
And she stood weeping near the tomb
A stranger spoke, she knew not whom
Alleluia
Why do you weep? his question came
Whose is the body you would claim
And then, at last, he spoke her name
Alleluia
No longer weeping, anguish-bent
But with rejoicing Mary went
By Christ as first apostle sent
Alleluia
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
