1 Christ, the Lord, is risen today; Alleluia!
Christians, haste your vows to pay; Alleluia!
Offer ye your praises meet, Alleluia!
At the Paschal Victim's feet. Alleluia!
2 For the sheep the Lamb hath bled, Alleluia!
Sinless in the sinner's stead; Alleluia!
Christ is risen, today we cry; Alleluia!
Now he lives no more to die. Alleluia!
3 Christ, the Victim undefiled, Alleluia!
God and man hath reconciled; Alleluia!
Whilst in strange and awful strife, Alleluia!
Met together death and Life. Alleluia! A-men.
4 Christians, on this happy day, Alleluia!
Haste with joy your vows to pay; Alleluia!
Christ is risen, today we cry; Alleluia!
Now he lives no more to die. Alleluia!
5 Christ who once for sinners bled, Alleluia!
Now the first-born from the dead, Alleluia!
Throned in endless might and power, Alleluia!
Lives and reigns forevermore. Alleluia!
6 Hail, Eternal Hope on high! Alleluia!
Hail, thou King of Victory! Alleluia!
Hail, thou Prince of Life adored! Alleluia!
Help and save us, gracious Lord. Alleluia!
Amen.
