Alleluia. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
1 Christ the Lord is ris'n today;
Christians, haste your vows to pay;
Make your joy and praises known
At the Pascal Victim's throne. [Refrain]
2 For the sheep the Lamb has bled,
Sinless in the sinner's stead.
Christ the Lord is ris'n on high;
Now he lives, no more to die. [Refrain]
3 Christ, the Victim undefiled,
God and sinners reconciled.
When in fierce and bloody strife
Met together death and life. [Refrain]
4 Christians, on this happy day
Raise your hearts with joy and say:
"Christ the Lord is ris'n on high:
Now he lives, no more to die." [Refrain]
5 Christ, who once for sinners bled,
Now the firstborn from the dead,
Throned in endless might and pow'r,
Lives and reigns forevermore. [Refrain]
6 Hail, eternal Hope on high!
Hail, O King of victory!
Hail, our Prince of life adored!
Show us mercy, gracious Lord. [Refrain] Topics: Easter Used With Tune: SURGIT IN HAEC DIES
