1 Christ the Lord is risen today, Hallelujah!
Sons of men and angels say: Hallelujah!
Raise your joys and triumphs high; Hallelujah!
Sing ye heavens; thou earth, reply: Hallelujah!
2 Love’s redeeming work is done;
Fought the fight, the battle won;
Lo! the sun’s eclipse is o’er,
Lo! he sets in blood no more.
3 Vain the stone, the watch, the seal,
Christ hath burst the gates of Hell;
Death in vain forbids his rise;
Christ hath opened Paradise.
4 Lives again our glorious King;
Where, O death, is now thy sting?
Once he died our souls to save;
Where’s thy victory, boasting grave?
5 Soar we now where Christ has led,
Following our exalted head;
Made like him, like him we rise,
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies.
