1 Christ, the Lord is ris'n again,
Christ has broken ev'ry chain!
Hark, the angels shout for joy,
Singing evermore on high:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

2 Christ who gave for us his life,
Who for us endured the strife,
Is our Paschal Lamb today.
We, too, sing for joy and say:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

3 Christ who bore all pain and loss
Comfortless upon the cross,
Lives in glory now on high,
Pleads for us and hears our cry:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

4 He who slumbered in the grave
Is exalted now to save;
Now throughout the world it rings
That the Lamb is King of kings.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

5 Now he bids us tell abroad
How the lost may be restored,
How the penitent forgiv'n,
How we, too, may enter heav'n.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

6 You, our Paschal Lamb indeed,
Christ, today your people feed;
Take our sins and guilt away,
That we all may sing for joy:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
