Hallelujah! Christ Is Risen (Hall)

Day of won­der

day of glad­ness

Hail thy ev­er glo­ri­ous light!

Gone is sor­row

gone is sad­ness

Ended is the gloomy night!

Listen to the an­gel’s sto­ry—

Cast away all dark and dread;

Give to God

the Fa­ther

glo­ry!

Christ is ris­en from the dead!

Hallelujah! hal­le­lu­jah!

Christ is ris­en

as He said;

Hallelujah! hal­le­lu­jah!

Christ is ris­en from the dead!

In the tri­umph of this hour

Jubilant shall swell the song;

Unto Je­sus

hon­or

pow­er

Blessing

vic­to­ry be­long.

Scattered are the clouds of er­ror

Sin and hell are cap­tive led;

E’en the grave is free from ter­ror

Christ is ris­en from the dead!

Every peo­ple

ev­ery na­tion

Soon shall hear the glad­some sound;

Joyous tid­ings of sal­va­tion

Borne to earth’s re­mot­est bound.

Then shall rise in tones ex­cel­ling

Praise for grace so free­ly shed;

And the East­er hymn be swell­ing

Christ is ris­en from the dead!

Victor now

to Heav’n as­cend­ed

Seated on the Fa­ther’s throne

Christ

in whom our na­ture blend­ed

Will His bless­èd child­ren own.

If above

in glo­ry meet­ing

We the heav’nl­y courts should tread

Sweeter then will sound the greet­ing

Christ is ris­en from the dead!
