16559. Christ The Lord Hath Risen

1 Christ the Lord hath ris­en
From His three day pri­son:
Now we sing all mer­ri­ly,
Jesus will our sol­ace be.

Refrain:
Alleluya, al­le­lu­ya,
Alleluya, al­le­lu­ya,
Alleluya, al­le­lu­ya,
Alleluya, al­le­lu­ya.

2 Christ to knap asun­der
Chains that kept us un­der
Satan’s yoke, was slain of yore:
Now He lives to die no more. [Refrain]

3 Christ our vic­tor-gi­ant,
Quells the foe de­fi­ant:
Let the ran­somed peo­ple sing
Glory to the Eas­ter King. [Refrain]
