Christ Is Alive!

Author: Brian Wren Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 55 hymnals First Line: Christ is alive! Let Christians sing Lyrics: 1 Christ is alive! Let Christians sing. The cross stands empty to the sky. Let streets and homes with praises ring. Love, drowned in death, shall never die. 2 Christ is alive! No longer bound To distant years in Palestine, But saving, healing, here and now, And touching every place and time. 3 Not throned afar, remotely high, Untouched, unmoved by human pains, But daily, in the midst of life, Our Savior in the Godhead reigns. 4 In every insult, rift and war, Where color, scorn or wealth divide, Christ suffers still, yet loves the more, And lives, where even hope has died. 5 Christ is alive, and comes to bring Good news to this and every age, Till earth and sky and ocean ring With joy, with justice, love and praise.

O the pangs His soul sustained! Shun not suffering, shame, or loss; Learn from Christ to bear the cross. 3 Calvary’s mournful mountain climb; There, adoring at His feet, Mark the miracle of time, God’s own sacrifice complete; “It is finished!” hear Him cry; Learn from Jesus Christ to die. 4 Early hasten to the tomb Where they laid His breathless clay: All is solitude and gloom. Who has taken Him away? Christ is risen! He meets our eyes. Savior, teach us so to rise. Scripture: Matthew 26:36-39 Used With Tune: REDHEAD 76
