438. Arisen is Jesus Christ today

1 Arisen in Jesus Christ today!
Alleluia, Alleluia
The comfort of mankind alway.
Alleluia, Alleluia.

2 A death most cruel suffered He
Alleluia, Alleluia
That thralls of sin might be set free.
Alleluia, Alleluia

3 At break of dawn the women come,
Alleluia, Alleluia
With spices to His rocky tomb.
Alleluia, Alleluia.

4 And lo! An angel clad in white,
Alleluia, Alleluia
With news to give them great delight:
Alleluia, Alleluia.

5 “O women, gazing fearsomely,
Alleluia, Alleluia
Haste ye away to Galilee;
Alleluia, Alleluia.

6 “To His disciples tidings bring:
Alleluia, Alleluia
He lives again, their glorious King!”
Alleluia, Alleluia

7 Wherefore with Easter gladsomeness
Alleluia, Alleluia
This ever-conquering Lord we bless.
Alleluia, Alleluia.
