Song for [Easter]: Christ the Lord is Risen Today

Christ the Lord is risen today, Alleluia

Sons of men and angels say, Alleluia

Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia

Sing, ye heavens and earth reply, Alleluia

 

Lives again our glorious King, Alleluia

Where, O death is now thy sting? Alleluia

Once He died, our souls to save, Alleluia

Where’s thy victory, O grave Alleluia

 

Love’s redeeming work is done, Alleluia

Fought the fight, the battle won, Alleluia

Death in vain forbids Him rise, Alleluia

Christ has opened paradise, Alleluia

 

Soar we now where Christ has led, Alleluia

Following our exalted Head, Alleluia

Made like Him, like Him we rise, Alleluia

Ours the cross, the grave, the skies, Alleluia
