On Sunday, early morning - Alleluia!
Some came to tomb, day dawning - Alleluia!
To bind body with spices - Alleluia!
As the Jewish custom this - Alleluia!
They found the stone rolled away - Alleluia!
Jesus\' body not seen, they - Alleluia!
Perplexed, then two men stood by - Alleluia!
They gave message, and drew nigh - Alleluia!
Saying, Why seek you living - Alleluia!
Among the dead? True this thing - Alleluia!
That He is not here, but He - Alleluia!
Suffered, died, now risen be - Alleluia!
Mary Magdalene was there - Alleluia!
And Joanna she did share - Alleluia!
In the good news, and Mary - Alleluia!
Mother of James midst them there - Alleluia!
They and other women told - Alleluia!
The apostles, witness bold - Alleluia!

Just what events there had been - Alleluia!

Our hope of life eternal - Alleluia!
Salvation now unto all - Alleluia!
