Author: Brian Wren Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 55 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 28:6 First Line: Christ Is alive! Let Christians sing Lyrics: 1. Christ is alive! Let Christians sing.
The cross stands empty to the sky.
Let streets and homes with praises ring.
Love, drowned in death, shall never die.
2. Christ is alive! No longer bound
To distant years in Palestine,
But saving, healing, here and now
And touching ev'ry place and time.
3. Not throned afar, remotely high,
Untouched, unmoved by human pains,
But daily, in the midst of life,
Our Savior in the God-head reigns.
4. In ev'ry insult, rift, and war,
Where color, scorn, or wealth divide,
Christ suffers still, yet loves the more,
And lives, where even hope has died.
5. Christ is alive! and comes to bring
Good news to this and ev'ry age,
Till earth and sky and ocean ring
With joy, with justice, love, and praise. Used With Tune: TRURO
Christ Is Alive
