112: Christ the Lord Is Risen Again


1 Christ the Lord is risen again,
Christ has broken every chain.
Hark, the angels shout for joy,
Singing evermore on high:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Hark, the angels shout for joy,
Singing evermore on high: Alleluia!

2 He who slumbered in the grave
Is exalted now to save;
Now through Christendom it rings
That the Lamb is King of kings:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Now through Christendom it rings
That the Lamb is King of kings: Alleluia!

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:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Lives in glory now on high,
Pleads for us and hears our cry: Alleluia!
