Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 1,179 hymnals First Line: Christ, the Lord, is ris'n today Lyrics: 1 Christ, the Lord, is ris’n today, Alleluia!
Sons of men and angels say, Alleluia!
Raise your joys and triumphs high;
Sing, ye heav’ns, and earth, reply,
Alleluia! Alleluia!
2 Vain the stone, the watch, the seal, Alleluia!
Christ hath burst the gates of hell, Alleluia!
Death in vain forbids His rise,
Christ hath opened paradise,
Alleluia! Alleluia!
3 Lives again our glorious King, Alleluia!
Where, O death, is now thy sting? Alleluia!
Once He died our souls to save,
Where thy victory, O grave?
Alleluia! Alleluia!
4 Soar we now where Christ has led, Alleluia!
Following our exalted Head, Alleluia!
Made like Him, like Him we rise,
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies,
Alleluia! Alleluia!
5 King of glory, Soul of bliss, Alleluia!
Everlasting life is this, Alleluia!
Thee to know, Thy pow’r to prove,
Thus to sing and thus to love,
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Used With Tune: [Christ, the Lord, is ris'n today]
