Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns and Spiritual Songs #545 (1875) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 The Lord is risen indeed!"
And are the tidings true?
Yes,they beheld the Saviour bleed,
And saw him living too.
2 "The Lord is risen indeed!"
Then justice asks no more;
Mercy and truth are now agreed,
Who stood opposed before,
Who stood opposed before.
3 "The Lord is risen indeed!"
Then is his work performed;
The mighty Captive now is freed,
And death, our foe, disarmed.
4 "The Lord is risen indeed!"
He lives to die no more;
He lives, the sinner's cause to plead,
Whose curse and shame he bore,
Whose curse and shame he bore.
5 "The Lord is risen indeed!"
Attending angels! hear;
Up to the courts of heaven, with speed,
The joyful tidings bear.
6 Then wake your golden lyres,
And strike each cheerful chord;
Join all the bright, celestial choirs!
To sing our risen Lord,
To sing our risen Lord. Topics: Ascension of Christ; Christ Resurrection of; Exaltation of Christ Tune Title: BENJAMIN
