Ye who Sleep rise up Alleluia Lyrics

Chorus: Ye who sleep rise up, alleluia

Rise up from the dead, rise up, alleluia

and Christ shall enlighten you.

1. You who sleep, rise up with Christ,

Into his light, alleluia

This is the day the Lord has made

to dispel the night, alleluia.

2. Lamb of God, he died to win

Freedom for men, alleluia

He is the Lord who conquers death,

Rising up again, alleluia.

3. Christ who died is Lord of life

Loving and new, alleluia.

Rise, and his splendid Easter

Light will shine in you, alleluia.

4. Son of man, who lived a life

death will destroy, alleluia.

Now, you are christened child of God:

5. Holy Jesus, every day

Keep us in the narrow way;

And, when earthly things are past,

Bring our ransomed souls at last

Where they need no star to guide

Where no clouds

Thy glory hide

6. In the heavenly country

Bright Need they no created light;

Thou its Light, its Joy, its Crown;

Thou its Sun which goes not down

There for ever may we sing

Hallelujah to our King.

You can shout for joy, alleluia:

7. Christ will come to lead us home;

he is the way, alleluia.

He will return, rise up and wait

for his triumph day, alleluia.
