101. Our Lord is risen from the dead

Our Lord is risen from the dead,
And rays of glory crown his head,
New hope has come to mortals.
He rose in power to smite his foes,
He lives to free us from our woes
And open heaven's portals.
O sing, our King Now is risen!
Come and listen
To the story,
Christ the Lord is risen in glory!
