Christ Is Risen! Alleluia!

Christ is ris­en! Al­le­lu­ia!

Risen our vic­tor­ious head!

Sing His prais­es! Al­le­lu­ia!

Christ is ris­en from the dead!

Gratefully our hearts ad­ore Him

As His light once more ap­pears

Bowing down in joy be­fore Him

Rising up from grief and tears:

Christ is ris­en! Al­le­lu­ia!

Risen our vic­tor­ious head!

Sing His prais­es! Al­le­lu­ia!

Christ is ris­en from the dead!

Christ is ris­en! all the sad­ness

Of our Lent­en fast is o’er

Through the op­en gates of glad­ness

He re­turns to life once more:

Death and hell be­fore Him bend­ing

He doth rise

the Vic­tor now

Angels on His steps at­tend­ing

Glory round His wound­ed brow;

Christ is ris­en! all the sor­row

That last ev­en­ing round Him lay

Now hath found a glo­ri­ous mor­row

In the ris­ing of to­day:

And the grave its first-fruits giv­eth

Springing up from ho­ly ground

He was dead

but now He liv­eth

He was lost

but He is found:
