Christ Is Risen (Lane)

lyricist: Marcus Lane, 1867
Composer: Fleetwood Sheppard

All the doubt­ing and de­ject­ion

Of our trem­bling hearts have ceased;

’Tis His day of re­sur­rect­ion

Let us rise and keep the feast.

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! hence­forth nev­er

Death or hell shall us en­thrall;

Be with Christ

in Him for ev­er

We have tri­umphed ov­er all.

Death and hell be­fore Him bend­ing

He doth rise the vic­tor now;

Angels on His steps at­tend­ing

Glory round His wound­ed brow.
