The Lord Is Risen Indeed!

The Lord is ris­en in­deed!

And are the tid­ings true?

Yes

we be­held the Sav­ior bleed

And saw Him liv­ing

too.

The Lord is ris­en

in­deed!

Then Jus­tice asks no more;

Mercy and Truth are now agreed

Who stood op­posed be­fore.

The Lord is ris­en in­deed!

Now is His work per­formed;

Now is the migh­ty Cap­tive freed

And death’s strong cas­tle stormed.

The Lord is ris­en in­deed!

The grave has lost its prey;

With Him is ris­en the ran­somed seed

To reign in end­less day.

The Lord is ris­en in­deed!

He lives

to die no more;

He lives

the sin­ner’s cause to plead

Whose curse and shame He bore.

The Lord is ris­en in­deed!

Attending an­gels

hear!

Up to the courts of Heav­en with speed

The joy­ful tid­ings bear.

Then take your gold­en lyres

And strike each cheer­ful chord;

Join

all ye bright ce­les­ti­al choirs

To sing our ris­en Lord.
