Christ Is Risen! Christ Is Risen!

Christ is ris­en! Christ is ris­en!

He hath burst His bonds in twain;

Christ is ris­en! Christ is ris­en!

Alleluia! swell the strain!

For our gain He suf­fered loss

By di­vine de­cree;

He hath died up­on the cross

But our God is He.

Christ is ris­en! Christ is ris­en!

He hath burst His bonds in twain;

Christ is ris­en! Christ is ris­en!

Alleluia! swell the strain!

See the chains of death are brok­en;

Earth be­low and Heav’n ab­ove

Joy in each am­az­ing to­ken

Of His ris­ing

Lord of love;

He for­ev­er­more shall reign

By the Fa­ther’s side

Till He comes to earth again

Comes to claim His Bride.

Glorious an­gels down­ward throng­ing

Hail the Lord of all the skies;

Heav’n

with joy and ho­ly long­ing

For the Word In­car­nate cries

Christ is ris­en! Earth

re­joice!

Gleam

ye star­ry train!

All cre­ation

find a voice;

He o’er all shall reign.
