Lyrics:

Refrain: Why do you look for the living among the dead?
He is not here: he has been raised to new life!
Alelluia! Alleluia!

Who is risen among you, who goes now before you alive!
Alleluia! Alleluia!

No more weeping and mourning, "Behold I make all things new!"
Alleluia! Alleluia!

3. Strength to the weak! New sight for the blind:
Go and tell all the nations the wondrous deeds of our God!
Alleluia! Alleluia!
