Description

SATB Choir - optional accompaniment. Don't have the forces to do one of the Easter "Gut-Busters?" Here's a wonderful early Renaissance piece - bright and chipper, and not too high for the sopranos or tenors. Perfect for that early service, communion, the Vigil, or if you have a smaller (but not dumber) choir.

Lyrics

Christ the Lord is risen, Hallelujah, hallelujah!
From his three days' prison, Hallelujah, hallelujah!
Sin can no more hold its sway, Hallelujah, hallelujah!
For death is vanquished this bless'd day! Hallelujah, hallelujah!

Now let us all rejoice and sing, Hallelujah, hallelujah!
The crucified now reigns as King, Hallelujah, hallelujah!
