1 When the Lord was crucified,
All the earth was wrapp’d in gloom;
But today ‘tis glorified,
Christ is risen from the tomb.
Chorus:
Christ is risen from the dead,
Christ is risen, as He said,
And He lives on high,
No more to die,
Christ is risen from the dead.
2 Those who sought the Master’s grave,
Found the stone was roll’d away;
And rejoic’d while praise they gave,
Where they thought to weep and pray. [Chorus]
3 Now the reign of sin is o’er,
For the Saviour dwells above;
Whence He rules for evermore,
With the sceptre of His love. [Chorus]
