CPWI Hymnal ‎#174

174. The Lord is risen indeed!

1 The Lord is risen indeed!
Now is his work performed;
now is the mighty captive freed,
and death's strong castle stormed.

2 The Lord is risen indeed!
Then hell has lost his prey;
with him is risen the ransomed seed
to reign in endless day.

3 The Lord is risen indeed!
He lives, to die no more;
he lives, the sinner's cause to plead,
whose curse and shame he bore.

4 The Lord is risen indeed!
Attending angels, hear!
Up to the courts of heaven with speed
the joyful tidings bear.

5 Then take your golden lyres,
and strike each cheerful chord;
join, all the bright celestial choirs,
to sing our risen Lord.
