Christ Is Risen from the Dead (Newton)

Christ is ris­en from the dead:

He has set His peo­ple free;

Bruised for us the ser­pent’s head

Won for us the vic­to­ry!

Christ is ris­en from the dead

Mighty in His pow­er to save!

And

as our as­cend­ed head

Reaps the har­vest of the grave.

Now

be­fore the throne He stands

Crowned the Vic­tor in the strife

Shows His wound­ed feet and hands

In the pow­er of end­less life.

As our first-fruits He ap­pears

In Him all His peo­ple rise;

And through ev­er­last­ing years

Share His glo­ry in the skies.
