The Resurrection light is all around, And heaven rings with singing's joyful sound: "The bonds of death forever are unbound!" Alleluia! The darkest hours have given way to light, The Risen Christ has conquered death and fright Let chants begin with prayer and end with might: Alleluia! Remembering the Holy meal of love, The cleansing Jordan and the Spirit dove, We praise the Christ to whom we sing above: Alleluia! Our alleluias louder, louder grow, The voices of the people overflow In lifting praise above from here below: Alleluia!
