194. Christ the Lord Is Risen Today

“Christ, the Lord, is ris’n today,”
Sons of men and angels say,
Raise your joys and triumphs high;
Sing, y heav’n, and earth reply.
Love’s redeeming work is done;
Fought the fight, the vict’ry won;
Jesus, agony is o’er,
Darkness veils the earth no more;
Vain the stone, the watch, the seal;
Christ has burst the gates of hell.
Death in vain forbids Him rise;
Christ has open’d paradise.
Death in vain forbids Him rise;
Christ hath open’d paradise.
“Christ, the Lord, is ris’n today,”
Sons of men and angels say,
Raise your joys and triumphs high;
Sing, y heav’n, and earth reply.
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah Amen;
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah Amen.
