Author: Christopher Wordsworth, 1807-1885 Hymnal: Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New #9 (2000) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:20 First Line: Alleluia, alleluia Lyrics: 1 Alleluia, alleluia,
hearts to heaven and voices raise:
sing to God a hymn of gladness,
sing to God a hymn of praise:
he who on the cross a victim,
for the world's salvation bled,
Jesus Christ, the King of Glory,
now is risen from the dead.
2 Christ is risen, Christ the first-fruits
of the holy harvest field,
which will all its full abundance
at his second coming yield;
then the golden ears of harvest
will their heads before him wave,
ripened by his glorious sunshine,
from the furrows of the grave.
3 Christ is risen, we are risen;
shed upon us heav'nly grace,
rain, and dew, and gleams of glory
from the brightness of thy face;
that we, with our hearts in heaven,
here on earth may fruitful be,
and by angel-hands be gathered,
and be ever, Lord, with thee.
4 Alleluia, alleluia,
glory be to God on high;
alleluias to the Saviour,
who has gained the victory;
alleluia to the Spirit,
fount of love and sanctity;
alleluia, alleluia,
to the Triune Majesty. Topics: Baptism; Easter; Redemption and Salvation; Year C Easter Day Languages: English Tune Title: LUX EOI
