Hallelujah! Christ Is Risen (Irons)

lyricist: William Irons, 1844
Composer: Fred­er­ick Stan­ton

Hallelujah! Christ is ris­en;

He has ris­en from the grave.

He has led the cap­tor cap­tive

He has migh­ty pow’r to save.

Hallelujah! Christ is ris­en;

He has ris­en from the grave.

He has led the cap­tor cap­tive

He has migh­ty pow’r to save.

Death was strong

but could not hold Him:

All the chains were snapped in twain.

Tho’ a pris­on­er

calm and gen­tle

Could He lie among the slain?

No! He could not see cor­rup­tion—

He

the Fa­ther’s ho­ly One;

His the mis­sion of a Sav­ior;

Now the Vic­tor’s work is done.

As He lives

we shall live al­so—

Death hath no more pow’r to hold;

Tho’ we sleep

’tis not for­ev­er—

He will bring us to His fold.
