Text:

"The Lord is risen indeed"

1 "The Lord is risen indeed,"
And are the tidings true?
Yes, we beheld the Savior bleed,
And saw him living too.

2 "The Lord is risen indeed,"
Then Justice asks no more;
Mercy and Truth are now agreed,
Who stood oppos'd before.

3 "The Lord is risen indeed,"
Then is the work perform'd;
The captive surely now is freed,
And death, our foe, disarm'd.

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

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