We are the Easter people, Alleluia is our song
Let us rejoice, let us sing out Jesus is risen, Alleluia!
1 He died for us, now He is risen,
We share his life, Jesus is Lord.
2 His light shines out, dispelling darkness
Tell the whole world, Jesus is Lord.
3 Proclaim His glory, Christ is the Saviour
He dies no more, Jesus is Lord.
4 God’s people sing, you share His victory
Have no more fear, Jesus is Lord.
