Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1829-78; Michael Weisse, c. 1480 - 1534 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #107 (1958) First Line: Christ, the Lord, is risen again Lyrics: 1 Christ, the Lord, is risen again,
Christ hath broken every chain!
Hark, angelic voices cry,
Singing evermore on high,
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:
Alleluia!
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.
Hark, angelic voices cry,
Singing evermore on high, Alleluia.
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:
Alleluia!
4 He who slumbered in the grave,
Is exalted now to save;
Now through Christendom it rings
That the Lamb is King of kings,
Alleluia!
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.
Hark, angelic voices cry,
Singing evermore on high, Alleluia.
5 Now he bids us tell abroad
How the lost may be restored,
How the penitent forgiven,
How we too may enter heaven,
Alleluia!
6 Thou, our Paschal Lamb indeed,
Christ, thy ransomed people feed;
Take our sins and guilt away,
Let thy people sing for aye:
Alleluia!
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.
Hark, angelic voices cry,
Singing evermore on high, Alleluia.
