Easter Song - He Rose from the Dead

This is a song for Easter. The structure is simple and there is repetition in the lyrics which suggests that it was intended for children.

It was written by  American Roman Catholic musician, composer, some-time Catholic priest and later children's educator and retirement-home operator, Jack Miffleton (b TBA).

Books where it was published include:
  • Young People's Folk Hymnal, Volume - World Library Publications, Chicago, USA, 1965
  • Songs of the Spirit, Volume 3, published by Kevin Mayhew Ltd in 1987, with an arrangement by Anthony Sharpe.

Lyrics

Chorus:
Alle, alle, alleluia,
Alle, alle, alleluia,
Praise Him every day.
Every day, sing alle,
Every day, sing alle,
Alleluia.

He lived for us, He died for us,
He rose from the dead.
He freed us from the grasp of sin,
He rose from the dead.

He was a man, yet God’s own son
He rose from the dead.
He shares his glory with us now,
He rose from the dead.

He lights the darkness of our lives
He rose from the dead.
With him we rise to die no more
He rose from the dead.

  1. Jack Miffleton is the author of this song. It used to be known as Alle, Alle. I remember him when he was a Catholic priest in Roanoke, VA, when he wrote this song.

  2. I sang this in grade school in Cleveland Ohio in the late 70s and early 80s. It was a favorite among the kids and the organist.
