Author: Brian Wren (1936-) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #223 (1998) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: Christ is risen! Shout hosanna! Lyrics: 1 Christ is risen! Shout hosanna!
Celebrate this day of days.
Christ is risen! Hush in wonder;
all creation is amazed.
In the desert all-surrounding,
see, a spreading tree has grown.
Healing leaves of grace abounding
bring a taste of love unknown.
2 Christ is risen! Raise your spirits
from the caverns of despair.
Walk with gladness in the morning,
see what love can do and dare.
Drink the wine of resurrection,
not a servant, but a friend.
Jesus is our strong companion;
joy and peace shall never end.
3 Christ is risen! Earth and heaven
never more shall be the same.
Break the bread of new creation
where the world is still in pain.
Tell its grim, demonic chorus:
"Christ is risen! Get you gone!"
God the First and Last is with us.
Sing hosanna everyone! Topics: Easter (season); Eucharist Scripture: Psalm 107 Languages: English Tune Title: POLISH CAROL (W ZLOBIE LEZY)
Christ Is Risen
