Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book ‎#89

89. Christ, the Lord is risen again

1 CHRIST the Lord is risen again!
Christ has broken death's strong chain!
Hark, the angels shout for joy,
Singing evermore on high: Hallelujah!

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!

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!

4 He whose path no records tell,
Who descended into hell,
Who the strong man armed hath bound,
Now in highest heaven is crowned: Hallelujah!

5 He who slumbered in the grave,
Is exalted now to save;
Now through Christendom it rings
That the Lamb is King of kings! Hallelujah!

6 Now He bids us tell mankind
How all may salvation find,
How poor sinners are forgiven,
And through faith may enter heaven: Hallelujah!

7 Thou our Paschal Lamb indeed,
Christ, to-day Thy people feed;
Take our sins and guilt away,
That we all may sing for aye: Hallelujah!
