28. Christ the Lord Is Risen Today

1 Christ the Lord is ris'n today, Alleluia! Alleluia!
Sons of men and angels say, Alleluia! Alleluia!
Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia! God on high.
Sing, you heav'ns, and earth reply, Alleluia!

Refrain:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Christ the Lord is risen today!
Allelia! Alleluia!
Christ the Lord is risen today!

2 Lives again our glorious King, Alleluia! Alleluia!
Where, O death, is now your sting? Alleluia! Alleluia!
Once he died, our souls to save, Alleluia! God on high.
Where's your vict'ry, boasting grave? [Refrain]

3 Love's redeeming work is done, Alleluia! Alleluia!
Fought the fight, the battle won, Alleluia! Alleluia!
Death in vain forbids him rise, Alleluia! God on high.
Christ has opened paradise, [Refrain]

4 Soar we now where Christ has led, Alleluia! Alleluia!
Foll'wing our exalted Head, Alleluia! Alleluia!
Made like him, like him we rise, Alleluia! God on high.
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies, [Refrain]
