Christ the Lord,
Christ the Lord,
Christ the Lord is risen!
Alleluia!
2 He who gave for us His life,
Who for us endured the strife,
Is our Paschal Lamb today!
We too sing for joy, and say: [Refrain]
3 He who bore all pain and loss
Comfortless upon the cross,
Lives in glory now on high,
Pleads for us and hears our cry: [Refrain]
4 He who slumber'd in the grave,
Is exalted now to save;
Now through Christendom it rings
That the Lamb is King of kings! [Refrain]
5 Now He bids us tell abroad,
How the lost may be restored,
How the penitent forgiven,
How we too may enter heav'n. [Refrain]
6 Thou our Paschal Lamb indeed,
Christ, today Thy people feed;
Take our sins and guilt away,
That we all may sing for aye, [Refrain] Topics: Book Four: Occasional Selections, Gospel Songs and Hymns; Jesus Christ Resurrection of Scripture: Luke 24:34 Languages: English Tune Title: STRAF MICH NICHT IN DEINEM ZORN
