Author: Michael Weisse, 1488-1534; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-1878 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #166 (2010) Meter: 7.7.7.7.4 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!
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 whose path no records tell,
who descended into hell,
who the strong man armed hath bound,
now in highest heaven is crowned.
Alleluia!
5 He who slumbered in the grave
is exalted now to save;
now through Christendom it rings
that the Lamb is King of kings.
Alleluia!
6 Now he bids us tell abroad
how the lost may be restored,
how the penitent forgiven,
how we too may enter heaven.
Alleluia!
7 Thou, our Paschal Lamb indeed,
Christ, thy ransomed people feed;
take our sins and guilt away:
let us sing by night and day
