Hallelujah, praise the risen King
In the stone cold tomb He lay, early in the morning
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Yet that first hope nearly died with so little warning
Hallelujah, now the good King reigns
Saints and Angels fearful, pray, yearning for a dawning
Laid with Him the hope of day, early in the morning
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, oh, the bright dawn breaks
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Yet, we trust, Lord, Thy great might, early in the morning
Now the bragging dragon trips, head so high, now fawning
Steady in the waning night, early in the morning
Dragons breed again to fight, fearful is their taunting
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Saints and Angels sing
Now vanquished claws have slipped, early in the morning
Risen Morning Star, our Light, early in the morning
Hallelujah, empty claws proclaim
Hallelujah, oh, the sweet King wakes
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Saints and Angels sing
Hallelujah, Saints and Angels sing
Long the anxious claws had gripped, early in the morning
Hallelujah, praise the risen King
Breaking on the silent grave, early in the morning
Mouth denied, forever drips, early in the morning
Hallelujah, praise the risen King
The good, young King was crucified early in the morning
