Christ lives, Christ lives, Christ lives! The birds all sing: 'Now comes the spring'. Christ lives, Christ lives, Christ lives, the earth with gladness rings. Alleluia, alleluia: Christ dies and rose and ever live. Christ lives, Christ lives, Christ lives! If not, why keep this holiday except because Christ lives? This is the Lord's own day. Alleluia, alleluia: Christ conquered sin and death, and lives. Tell all the world: Christ lives! We cannot hide our selfish pride, but God our sins forgives; for everyone Christ died. Alleluia, alleluia: New life and peace and joy Christ gives. Christ Jesus ever lives! As we abide close at Christ's side our life clear witness gives; the Spirit is our guide. Alleluia, alleluia: We die and Christ within us lives. Christ lives, Christ lives, Christ lives! We all one day shall pass away; eternal life God gives, a new and glorious day. Alleluia, alleluia: All earth and heaven proclaim: 'Christ lives'.
