Rejoice, heavenly powers! Sing, choirs of angels! Exult, all creation around God's throne! Jesus Christ, our King, is risen Sound the trumpet of salvation! Rejoice, O Earth, in shining splendor Radiant in the brightness of your King Christ has conquered, glory fills you Darkness vanishes forever Rejoice, O Mother Church! Exult in glory! The risen Savior shines upon you Let this place resound with joy Echoing the mighty song of all God's people My dearest friends, standing me in this holy light Join with me in asking God for mercy That He may give his unworthy minister Grace to sing His Easter praises Father, I bring you news of greatest joy Our Lord, Jesus Christ, has been raised from the dead Therefore let us sing, "Alleluia!"
