Drowning pain and doubt and sadness.

Alleluia! Alleluia!
Glory to the risen Lord!
Song of songs, in endless gladness
Drowning pain and doubt and sadness.
Alleluia! "He is risen!"
"Risen indeed!" the shouts resound.
Holy greeting answers greeting;
Joy at last on earth is found.
Shore to shore the salutations
Bind as one redeemèd nations.

Heaven and earth at last shall sever,
But the song shall peal forever!
