204. Jesus Christ Is Risen Today

1 Jesus Christ is risen today,
Alleluia!
Our triumphant holy day,
Alleluia!
Who did once, upon the cross,
Alleluia!
Suffer to redeem our loss.
Alleluia!

2 Hymns of praise then let us sing,
Alleluia!
Unto Christ, our heavenly King,
Alleluia!
Who endured the cross and grave,
Alleluia!
Sinners to redeem and save.
Alleluia!

3 But the pains which He endured,
Alleluia!
Our salvation have procured;
Alleluia!
Now above the sky He's King,
Alleluia!
Where the angels ever sing.
Alleluia!

4 Sing we to our God above,
Alleluia!
Praise eternal as His love;
Alleluia!
Praise Him, all ye heavenly host,
Alleluia!
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Alleluia!

Amen.
