| Text: | Christ the Lord Is Risen Today |
| Author: | Charles Wesley |
| Tune: | EASTER HYMN |
1 Christ the Lord is risen today, Alleluia!
Sons of men and angels say, Alleluia!
Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia!
Sing, ye heavens, and earth, reply, Alleluia!
2 Love's redeeming work is done, Alleluia!
Fought the fight, the victory won, Alleluia!
Death in vain forbids Him rise, Alleluia!
Christ hath opened Paradise, Alleluia!
3 Vain the stone, the watch, the seal, Alleluia!
Christ has burst the gates of hell. Alleluia!
Once He died our souls to save, Alleluia!
Where's thy victory, boasting grave? Alleluia!
4 Lives again our glorious King, Alleluia!
Where, O death, is now thy sting? Alleluia!
Made like Him, like Him we rise, Alleluia!
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies, Alleluia!
5 Soar we now where Christ has led, Alleluia!
Following our exalted Head, Alleluia!
Thee we greet triumphant now, Alleluia!
Hail, the Resurrection Thou! Alleluia!
Amen.
