245. Christ the Lord is Risen Again

1 Christ the Lord is ris'n again,
Alleluia!
Christ hath broken ev'ry chain;
Alleluia!
Hark, angelic voices cry,
Alleluia!
Singing evermore on high,
Alleluia!

2 He who bore all pain and loss,
Alleluia!
Comfortless upon the cross,
Alleluia!
Lives in glory now on high,
Alleluia!
Pleads for us and hears our cry;
Alleluia!

3 He who slumbered in the grave,
Alleluia!
Is exalted now to save;
Alleluia!
Now thro' Christendom it rings,
Alleluia!
That the Lamb is King of kings.
Alleluia!

4 Now He bids us tell abroad,
Alleluia!
How the lost may be restored,
Alleluia!
How the penitent forgiven,
Alleluia!
How we too may enter heav'n.
Alleluia!
