344. Christ the Lord Is Risen Again

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:
Allelujah!
He who gave for us His life,
Who for us endured the strife,
Is our Paschal Lamb today.
Allelujah!

Refrain:
Allelujah, allelujah, allelujah!
Christ our Paschal Lamb indeed,
Christ, today Your people feed.
Allelujah!

2 He who bore all pain and loss
Comfortless upon the cross
Lives in glory now on high,
Pleads for us and hears our cry:
Allelujah!
He whose path no records tell
Hath descended into hell;
He the strong man armed hath bound
And in highest heaven is crowned.
Allelujah! (Refrain)

3 He who slumbered in the grave
Is exalted now to save;
Now through Christendom it rings
That the Lamb is King of kings.
Allelujah!
Now He bids us tell abroad
How the lost may be restored,
How the penitent forgiv'n,
How we, too, may enter heaven.
Allelujah! (Refrain)
