"God Has Delivered Us," text for Easter or a pandemic's end

Grace and peace, everyone.

Here's a new text, "God Has Delivered Us," written for RUSSIA by Aleksei Lvov, which most people know as one of the themes in Tchaikovsky's "1812 Overture." I wrote this for Easter, but I think it could work for celebrating the end of a pandemic as well. Note that there is a reference to the Cross in procession. Cannon solo optional.

1. God has delivered us! Sing Alleluia!
His wondrous mercies and righteousness sing;
Sing with the saints and the angels of Heaven:
Praise to our God, the Almighty King!

2. God has delivered us! Praise to our Jesus!
His holy Cross overturns death and shame;
See how it shines forth in glorious procession,
Sweet Tree Immortal that bears His Name!

3. God has delivered us! Praise Him, O Mother!
All Pharaoh's armies are drowned in the sea;
Bells of Jerusalem sound to the nations
Thy Son's magnificent victory!

4. God has delivered us! Praise Him, St. Michael!
Mighty archangel, how swift is Thy sword;
Evil is vanquished, the skies are rejoicing,
All at the will of our Sov'reign Lord!

5. God has delivered us! Sing Alleluia!
His wondrous mercies and righteousness sing;
Sing with the saints and the angels of Heaven:
Praise to our God, the Almighty King!
