Christ The Lord Is Risen Today

Lives again our glorious King.

Christ the Lord is ris'n today,

King of glory! Soul of bliss!

Where, O death, is now thy sting?

Everlasting life is this

Sons of men and angels say!

Thee to know, Thy pow'r to prove,

Once he died our Souls to save;

Raise your joys and triumphs high,

Where's thy vict'ry, boasting grave?

Sing, ye heav'ns and earth reply

Thus to sing, and thus to love.

Soar we now where Christ hath led,

Vain the stone, the watch, the seal

Hail, the Lord of earth and heav'n!

Christ hath burst the gates of hell:

Foll'wing our exalted Head;

Praise to Thee by both be giv'n!

Death in vain forbids His rise,

Made like Him, like Him we rise,

Thee we greet triumphant now,

Hail the resurrection thou!

Christ hath opened paradise.

Ours the cross, the grave, the skies.

Death in vain forbids His rise,

Thee we greet triumphant now,

Made like Him, like Him we rise,

Hail the resurrection thou!

Christ hath opened paradise.

Ours the cross, the grave, the skies.
