362. Jesus Christ is risen today, alleluia!

1 Jesus Christ is risen today, alleluia!
our triumphant holy day, alleluia!
who so lately on the cross alleluia!
suffered to redeem our loss, alleluia!

2 Hymns of praise then let us sing, alleluia!
unto Christ, our heavenly King, alleluia!
who endured the cross and grave alleluia!
sinners to redeem and save. Alleluia!

3 But the pain that he endured alleluia!
our salvation has procured; alleluia!
now exalted he is king, alleluia!
and the angels ever sing: alleluia!
