158. The Lord is risen indeed

1 The Lord is risen indeed:
now is his work performed;
now is the mighty captive freed,
and death's strong castle stormed.

2 The Lord is risen indeed:
then hell has lost its prey;
with him is risen the ransomed seed
to reign in endless day.

3 The Lord is risen indeed:
he lives, to die no more;
he lives, the sinner’s cause to plead,
Whose curse and shame he bore.

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 ye bright celestial choirs,
to sing our risen Lord.
