104. "The Lord is risen indeed"

1 "The Lord is risen indeed;"
And are the tidings true?
The Apostles saw the Saviour bleed,
And saw him living too.

2 The Lord is risen indeed;
Then death has lost his prey;
With him shall rise the ransomed seed,
To reign in endless day.

3 The Lord is risen indeed;
Attending angels hear;
Up to the courts of heaven, with speed,
The joyful tidings bear.

4 Then take your golden lyres,
And strike each cheerful chord;
Join all the bright celestial choirs
To sing our risen Lord.
