23. Lord's Day

1 Christ, the Lord is risen today,
Glory, Hallelujah!
Our triumphant holy day,
Hallelujah, praise the Lord.
He who died upon the cross,
Glory, Hallelujah!
Suffer'd to redeem our loss,
Hallelujah, praise the Lord!

Full Chorus:
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Praise ye the Lord.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Praise ye the Lord.

2 Love's redeeming work is done,
Glory, Hallelujah!
Fought the fight, the battle won:
Hallelujah, praise the Lord.
Lo! the sun's eclipse is o'er,
Glory, Hallelujah!
Lo! he sets in blood no more,
Hallelujah, praise the Lord! [Chorus]

3 Vain the stone, the watch, the seal--
Christ has burst the gates of hell:
Death in vain forbids Him rise;
Christ hath open'd Paradise. [Chorus]

4 Lives again our glorious King;
Where, O death, is now thy sting?
Once He died our souls to save;
Where's thy vict'ry, boasting grave? [Chorus]

5 Soar we now where Christ has led,
Follow our exalted head:
Made like Him, like Him we rise;
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies. [Chorus]
