Our Lord is Risen from the Dead

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 450 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Our Lord is risen from the dead! Our Jesus is gone up on high; The powers of hell are captive led, Dragg’d to the portals of the sky. There His triumphal chariot waits, And angels chant the solemn lay; “Lift up your heads, you heavenly gates,” Ye everlasting doors, give way. 2 A radiant cloud is now Thy seat, And earth lies stretch’d beneath Thy feet; Ten thousand thousands round Thee sing, And share the triumph of their King. The angel host enraptured waits: “Lift up your heads, eternal gates!” O God and Man! The Father’s throne Is now for evermore Thine own. 3 Our Great High-Priest and Shepherd, Thou Within the veil art entered now, To offer there Thy precious blood Once pour’d on earth , a cleansing flood. And thence the Church, Thy chosen bride, With countless gifts of grace supplied, Thro’ all her members draws from Thee Her hidden life of sanctity.

Christ our Lord and God we own,— Christ, the Father’s only Son, Lamb of God for sinners slain, Saviour of offending man. 3 Jesus! in Thy Name we pray, Take, oh, take our sins away! Pow’rful Advocate with God! Justify us with Thy blood. Hear, for Thou, O Christ! alone, Art with Thy great Father One; One the Holy Ghost with Thee,— One supreme eternal Three.
