Songs of Joy!

Make songs of joy to Christ, our head: Alleluia!
He lives again who once was dead! Alleluia!

Our life was purchased by His loss; Alleluia!
He died our death upon the cross. Alleluia!

O death where is your deadly sting? Alleluia!
Assumed by our triumphant King! Alleluia!

And where your victory, O grave, Alleluia!
When one like Christ has come to save? Alleluia!

Behold, the tyrants, one and all, Alleluia!
Before our mighty Savior fall! Alleluia!

For this be praised the Son who rose, Alleluia!
The Father and the Holy Ghost! Alleluia!

[A Slovak Easter Hymn, LSB 484]
