1 Christ the Lord is risen again,
Christ hath broken every chain,
Hark! angelic voices cry,
Singing ever more on high:
Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!
2 He who gave for us His life,
Who for us endured the strife,
Is our Paschal Lamb to day;
We, too, sing for joy, and say:
Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!
3 He who bore all pain and loss
Comfortless upon the cross,
Lives in glory now on high,
Pleads for us, and hears our cry:
Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!
4 Now He bids us tell abroad
How the lost may be restored,
How the penitent forgiven,
How we, too, may enter heaven,
Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!
Amen.
