Christ the Lord Is Risen Again

Christ the Lord is ris­en again;

Christ hath brok­en ev­ery chain;

Hark! An­gel­ic voic­es cry

Singing ev­er­more on high

Hallelujah!

He

who gave for us His life

Who for us en­dured the strife

Is our Pas­chal lamb to­day!

We

too

sing for joy

and say:

Hallelujah!

He who bore all pain and loss

Comfortless up­on the cross

Lives in glo­ry now on high

Pleads for us

and hears our cry:

Hallelujah!

He whose path no re­cords tell

Who des­cend­ed into hell.

Who the strong man armed hath bound

Now in high­est Heav­en is crowned:

Hallelujah!

He who slum­bered in the grave

Is ex­alt­ed now to save;

Now through Chris­ten­dom it rings

That the Lamb is King of kings!

Hallelujah!

Now He bids us tell abroad

How the lost may be re­stored

How the pe­ni­tent for­giv’n

How we too may en­ter Heav’n.

Hallelujah!

Thou our Pas­chal lamb in­deed

Christ

to­day Thy peo­ple feed:

Take our sins and guilt away

That we all may sing for aye

Hallelujah!
