Christ the Lord Is Risen Today

Christ the Lord is ris'n today! Alleluia!
All on earth with angels say; Alleluia!
Raise your joys and triumphs high; Alleluia!
Sing, ye heav'ns;and earth, reply. Alleluia!

Love's redreeming work is done Alleluia!
Fought the fight, the battle won; Alleluia!
Lo! The sun's eclipse is o'er. Alleluia!
Lo! He sets in blood no more. Alleluia!

Vain the stone, the watch, the seal; Alleluia!
Christ has burst the gates of hell. Alleluia!
Death in vain forbids His rise; Alleluia!
Christ has opened paradise. Alleluia!

Lives again our glorious King! Alleluia!
Where, O death, is now Thy sting? Alleluia!
Once He died our souls to save; Alleluia!
Where Thy victory, O grave? Alleluia!

Soar we now, where Christ has led, Alleluia!
Foll'wing our exalted Head; Alleluia!
Made like Him, like Him we rise; Alleluia!
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies. Alleluia!
