	OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST

	187



	2 The powers of death have done their worst, But Christ their legions hath dispersed: Let shouts of holy joy outburst, Alleluia!

	3 The three sad days are quickly sped; He rises glorious from the dead: All glory to our risen Head! Alleluia I 4 He closed the yawning gates of hell, The bars from heaven's high portals fell; Let hymns of praise His triumphs tell! Alleluia! 5 Lord! by the stripes which wounded Thee, From death's dread sting Thy servants free, That we may live and sing to Thee. Alleluia! Latin. Tr. Rev. Francis Pott, 1862
