Gospel Herald in Song ‎#192

192. Christ, the Lord, is Risen!

1 Christ, the Lord, is risen!
Wake the triumph song;
Ringing thro’ creation, let us
Send the word along!
Send it o’er the waters,
Blessed word of peace;
On the breezes swelling,
Let the song increase.

Refrain:
Christ, the Lord, is risen indeed!
Sons of men and angels say;
Over death triumphant,
He lives to reign thro’ endless day.

2 Christ, the Lord, is risen!
Earth rejoice today;
Chains of death are broken, and it’s
Terrors swept away;
King of kings all glorious,
Lord of lords is He!
Over all victorious,
Reign eternally! [Refrain]

3 Christ, the Lord, is risen!
Everlasting King;
Grave, where is thy victory? O
Death, where is thy sing?
Angels chant the story,
With united voice;
Cherubim exalt Him;
Seraphim rejoice! [Refrain]
