98. [Jesus Christ is risen to-day]

1 Jesus Christ is risen to-day,
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 redeemed the cross and grave,
Alleluia!
Sinners to redeem and save,
Alleluia!

3 But the pains which he endured,
Alleluia!
Our salvation have procured,
Alleluia!
Now above the sky he's King,
Alleluia!
Where the angels ever sing,
Alleluia! Amen.
