Hymn

ENGLISH LYRICS: Christ the Lord is risen today

He is risen. Mk.16:6

1.  Christ the Lord is risen today
    Hallelujah!
    Sons of men, and, angels, say,
    Hallelujah!
    Raise your joys and triumphs high; Hallelujah!
    Sing, ye heav'ns; thou earth, reply, Hallelujah

2. Love's redeeming work is done; Hallelujah !
    Fought the fight, the battle won;
    Hallelujah!
    Lo! Our sun's eclipse is o'er,
    Hallelujah!
    Lo! He sets in blood no more,
    Hallelujah!

3. Vain the stone, the watch, the seal; Hallelujah
    Christ hath burst the gates of hell; Hallelujah!
    Death in vain forbids His rise!
    Hallelujah!
    Christ hath open'd paradise.
    Hallelujah!

4. Lives again our glorious King;
    Hallelujah
    Where, O death, is now thy sting? Hallelujah!
    Once He died our souls to save.
    Hallelujah!
    Where thy victory, O grave?
    Hallelujah!

5. Soar we now where Christ hath led Hallelujah.!
    Following our exalted Head:
    Hallelujah!
    Made like Him, like Him we rise,
    Hallelujah!
    Ours-the cross, the grave the skies, Hallelujah!

6. Hail the Lord of earth and heaven, Hallelujah!
    Praise to Thee by both be given;
    Hallelujah!
    Thee we greet triumphant now,
    Hallelujah!
    Hail the Resurrection Thou!
    Hallelujah!

Amen.
