88. Jesus Christ Is Risen Today

1. Jesus Christ is risen today,
Alleluia!
Our triumphant holy day,
Alleluia!
Who did once, upon the cross,
Alleluia!
Suffer to redeem our loss.
Alleluia!

2. Hymns of praise then let us sing,
Alleluia!
Unto Christ, our heavenly king,
Alleluia!
Who endured the cross and grave,
Alleluia!
Sinners to redeem and save.
Alleluia!

3. Sing we to our God above,
Alleluia!
Praise eternal as His love;
Alleluia!
Praise Him, all ye heavenly host,
Alleluia!
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Alleluia!
