Christ Has Risen

Christ has ris­en from the dead

He who suf­fered in our stead;

Rise we with our ris­en head;

Alleluia! Al­le­lu­ia!

They who sang when He was born

Sing again this East­er morn

Songs that glad­den hearts for­lorn;

Alleluia! Al­le­lu­ia!

He has burst the cap­tives’ chain;

Now they glo­ry in His name

Who for them did suf­fer shame;

Alleluia! Al­le­lu­ia!

See

the tomb has op­ened wide;

See

the Lord

who bled and died

Now has ris­en glo­ri­fied

Alleluia! Al­le­lu­ia!

On that grand tri­umph­ant day

When things old shall pass away

We shall lift our voice and say

Alleluia! Al­le­lu­ia!

Christ the first fruits now we see

Of a har­vest yet to be

When we’re ga­thered

Lord

to Thee.

Alleluia! Al­le­lu­ia!
