Author: Catherine Winkworth; Michael Weisse Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #190 (1941) Meter: 7.7.7.7 with alleluia First Line: Christ the Lord is ris'n again Lyrics: 1 Christ the Lord is ris'n again;
Christ has broken death's strong chain.
Hark, the angels shout for joy,
Singing evermore on high:
Hallelujah!
2 He who gave for us His life,
Who for us endured the strife,
Is our Paschal Lamb today.
We, too, sing for joy and say:
Hallelujah!
3 He who bore all pain and loss
Comfortless upon the cross
Lives in glory now on high,
Pleads for us and hears our cry:
Hallelujah!
4 He whose path no records tell
Hath descended into hell;
He the strong man armed hath bound
And in highest heav'n is crowned.
Hallelujah!
5 He who slumbered in the grave
Is exalted now to save;
Now through Christendom it rings
That the Lamb is King of kings.
Hallelujah!
6 Now He bids us tell abroad
How the lost may be restored,
How the penitent forgiven,
How we, too, may enter heaven.
Hallelujah!
7 Thou our Paschal Lamb indeed,
Christ, today Thy people feed;
Take our sins and guilt away
That we all may sing for aye:
Hallelujah!
Amen.
