221. Christ, the Lord, Is Risen Today

1 Christ, the Lord, is ris’n today, Alleluia!
Sons of men and angels say, Alleluia!
Raise your joys and triumphs high;
Sing, ye heav’ns, and earth, reply,
Alleluia! Alleluia!

2 Vain the stone, the watch, the seal, Alleluia!
Christ hath burst the gates of hell, Alleluia!
Death in vain forbids His rise,
Christ hath opened paradise,
Alleluia! Alleluia!

3 Lives again our glorious King, Alleluia!
Where, O death, is now thy sting? Alleluia!
Once He died our souls to save,
Where thy victory, O grave?
Alleluia! Alleluia!

4 Soar we now where Christ has led, Alleluia!
Following our exalted Head, Alleluia!
Made like Him, like Him we rise,
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies,
Alleluia! Alleluia!

5 King of glory, Soul of bliss, Alleluia!
Everlasting life is this, Alleluia!
Thee to know, Thy pow’r to prove,
Thus to sing and thus to love,
Alleluia! Alleluia!
