Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Christian Hymns #303 (1935) First Line: Christ the Lord is ris'n today Lyrics: 1 Christ the Lord is ris'n today,
Hallelujah!
Sons of men and angels say:
Hallelujah!
Raise your joys and triumphs high,
Hallelujah!
Sing, ye heav'ns, and earth reply,
Hallelujah!
2 Love's redeeming work is done,
Hallelujah!
Fought the fight, the battle won:
Hallelujah!
Lo! the sun's eclipse is o'er;
Halleulujah!
Lo! he sets in blood no more,
Hallelujah!
3 Vain the stone, the watch, the seal,
Hallelujah!
Christ has burst the gates of hell:
Hallelujah!
Death in vain forbids his rise;
Hallulujah!
Christ hath opened paradise,
Hallelujah!
4 Lives again our glorious King,
Hallelujah!
Where, O death, is now thy sting?
Hallelujah!
Once he died our souls to save;
Hallelujah!
Where's thy vict'ry, boasting grave?
Hallelujah!
5 Soar we now where Christ has led,
Hallelujah!
Follow our exalted Head:
Hallelujah!
Made like him, like him we rise;
Hallelujah!
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies!
Hallelujah!
