The New Christian Hymnal ‎#85

85. Christ Is Risen! Hallelujah!

1 Christ is risen! Hallelujah!
Risen our victorious Head!
Sing His praises! Hallelujah!
Christ is risen from the dead!
Grratefully our hearts adore Him,
As His light once more appears;
Bowing down in joy before Him,
Rising up from grief and tears.

Refrain:
Christ is risen! Hallelujah!
Risen our victorious Head!
Sing His praises! Hallelujah!
Christ is risen from the dead!

2 Christ is risen! all the sadness
Of His earthly life is o'er;
Thro' the open gates of gladness
He returns to life once more;
Death and hell before Him bending,
He doth rise, the victor now;
Angels on His steps attending;
Glory round His wounded brow. [Refrain]

3 Christ is risen! henceforth never
Death or hell shall us enthrall:
We are Christ's, in Him forever
We have triumphed over all;
All the doubting and dejection
Of our trembling hearts have ceased;
'Tis His day of resurrection!
Let us rise and keep the feast. [Refrain]
