The text is a collective prayer to celebrate the resurrection and the future of our world. The kingdom of Earth is becoming the kingdom of the Lord; in other words the domination of God has to take the place off the domination of Men. The word Hallelujah means "the Lord be praised": it is a call for the believers to pray together for the Reign of God.
Therefore it is also a way to broadcast a message of humility to the powerful Men: the fifth text "King of Kings and Lord of Lords" reminds them of the superiority of the Holy power and of humility and submission they have to feel. The power and the infinity of God are expressed in the second and the fourth text through the notions of omnipotence and eternity of His reign.
Like in every prayer, the words are very simple and the most important ones are repeated to make them easily remembered by the audience: Hallelujah, Lord, Kingdom and King are repeated four times, as a possible illustration of infinity and permanence of the sacred world. At the opposite the words God and Christ are unique and Christ is placed with a particular attention, at the end of the central phrase, the longest one: that could describe the inaccessibility of this Holy entity.
