Psalms and Hymns and Spiritual Songs ‎#545

545. "The Lord is risen indeed"

1 The Lord is risen indeed!"
And are the tidings true?
Yes,they beheld the Saviour bleed,
And saw him living too.

2 "The Lord is risen indeed!"
Then justice asks no more;
Mercy and truth are now agreed,
Who stood opposed before,
Who stood opposed before.

3 "The Lord is risen indeed!"
Then is his work performed;
The mighty Captive now is freed,
And death, our foe, disarmed.

4 "The Lord is risen indeed!"
He lives to die no more;
He lives, the sinner's cause to plead,
Whose curse and shame he bore,
Whose curse and shame he bore.

5 "The Lord is risen indeed!"
Attending angels! hear;
Up to the courts of heaven, with speed,
The joyful tidings bear.

6 Then wake your golden lyres,
And strike each cheerful chord;
Join all the bright, celestial choirs!
To sing our risen Lord,
To sing our risen Lord.
