Christ the Lord Is Risen Today (Leeson)

Christ the Lord is ris­en to­day;

Christians

haste your vows to pay;

Offer ye your prais­es meet

At the Pas­chal Vic­tim’s feet.

For the sheep the Lamb hath bled

Sinless in the sin­ner’s stead;

Christ is ris­en

today we cry;

Now He lives no more to die.

Christ

the Vic­tim un­de­filed

Man to God hath re­con­ciled;

Whilst in strange and aw­ful strife

Met to­ge­ther Death and Life:

Christians

on this hap­py day

Haste with joy your vows to pay;

Christ is ris­en

to­day we cry;

Now He lives no more to die.

Christ

who once for sin­ners bled

Now the first born from the dead

Throned in end­less might and pow­er

Lives and reigns for­ev­er­more.

Hail

eter­nal Hope on high!

Hail

Thou King of vic­to­ry!

Hail

Thou Prince of life ad­ored!

Help and save us

gra­cious Lord.
