XLI. Christ's Resurrection

1 Christ our Lord is risen to-day,
Our triumphant holy way--
Who so lately on the Cross
Suffer'd to redeem our loss.

2 In our paschal joys and fest
Let the Lord of life be blest,
Let the holy three be prais'd,
And to heav'n our songs be rais'd,

3 Christ our Lord is risen to-day,
Christ our light, our life our way,
The object of our love and faith,
Who by dying conquer'd death.

4 The holy martyrs early came
To weep o'er the Savior's tomb;
Two bright angels did appear,
Who said Jesus is not here.

5 Where is he, O tell us where,
His blessed residence declare;
Jesus seek among the dead,
Far from these dark regions fled.

6 First the sacred place behold,
In rapture your dear Lord unfold;
Then lift your eyes and raise your voice,
In songs of praise we will rejoice.

7 Haste ye females from the sight,
Make to Gallilee your flight,
And to his disciples say,
Jesus Christ is ris'n to-day.

8 Heralds of our joy to you,
Grateful thanks and love are due;
With songs to God and praises high,
We'll together magnify.

9 The cross is past the crown is won,
The ransom paid and death's sting gone;
Let us feast, and sing, and say,
Jesus Christ is ris'n to-day.
