Christ the Lord Is Risen Today!
1. "Christ the Lord is risen today!"
Alleluia!
All creation, join to say;
Alleluia!
Raise your joys and triumphs high;
Alleluia!
Sing, O heavens, and earth reply,
Alleluia!
2. 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!
3. Lives again our glorious King;
Alleluia!
Where, O death, is now your sting?
Alleluia!
Jesus died, our souls to save;
Alleluia!
Where your victory, O grave?
Alleluia!
4. Hail, the Lord of earth and heaven!
Alleluia!
Praise to You by both be given;
Alleluia!
Every knee to You shall bow,
Alleluia!
Risen Christ, triumphant now.
Alleluia!
