Christ the Lord Is Risen Today!
"He is risen, He is not here." - Mark. 16:6
VERSE 1
Christ the Lord is risen today!
Hallelujah!
Sons of men and angels say,
Hallelujah!
Raise your songs and triumphs high: Hallelujah!
Sing! ye heav'ns; thou earth reply; Hallelujah!
VERSE 2
Love's redeeming work is done,
Fought the fight, the battle won:
Lo! our sun's eclipse is o'er;
Lo! he sets in blood no more:
VERSE 3
Vain the stone, the watch, the seal,
Christ hath burst the gates of hell;
Death in vain forbids Him rise,
Christ hath opened Paradise.
VERSE 4
Lives again our glorious King:
Where, O death, is now thy sting?
Once He died our souls to save;
Where's thy victory, O grave?
VERSE 5
Soar we now where Christ hath led,
Following our exalted Head:
Made like Him, like Him we rise;
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies.
VERSE 6
Hail! the Lord of earth and heaven;
Praise to Thee by both be given,
Thee we greet triumphant now:
Hail! the Resurrection, Thou!
