Christ Is Risen, Christ Is Living

Christ is ris­en

Christ is liv­ing.

Dry your tears; be una­fraid.

Death and dark­ness could not hold Him

Nor the tomb in which He lay.

Do not look among the dead for

One who lives for­ev­er­more.

Tell the world that Christ is ris­en;

Make it known He goes be­fore.

If the Lord had nev­er ris­en

We’d have no­thing to be­lieve.

But His pro­mise can be trust­ed:

You will live be­cause I live.

As we share the death of Ad­am

So in Christ we live again.

Death has lost it sting and ter­ror;

Christ the Lord has come to reign.

Death has lost its old do­min­ion;

Let the world re­joice and shout!

Christ

the first­born of the liv­ing

Gives us life and leads us out.

Let us thank our God who caus­es

Hope to spring up from the ground.

Christ is ris­en

Christ is giv­ing

Life eter­nal

life pro­found.
