"Let Your Alleluias Rise" (K. Lee Scott) 
Tenor soloist, Jonnie Carpathios 

Lift your voices rejoicing, Mary, Christ has risen from the tomb; 
On the cross a suffering victim, now as victor He is come. 
Whom your years in death were mourning, welcome with your smiles returning. 
Let your alleluias rise! 

Raise your weary eyelids, Mary, see Him living ever more; 
See His countenance how gracious, see the woulds for you He bore. 
All the glory of the morning pales before those wounds redeeming.
Let your alleluias rise! 

Life is yours forever, Mary, for your light is come once more; 
And the strength of death is broken; now your songs of joy outpour. 
Ended now the night of sorrow, love has brought the blessed morrow. 
Let your alleluias rise!
