Author (stanza 4): | Charles Wesley |
Tune: | EASTER HYMN |
1 Jesus Christ is risen today,
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 endured 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!
4 Sing we to our God above,
Alleluia!
Praise eternal as his love;
Alleluia!
Praise him, all you heavenly host,
Alleluia!
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Alleluia!
Amen.
