Author: M. Weisse Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #334 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Christ the Lord is risen again; Hallelujah!
Christ hath broken every chain; Hallelujah!
Hark, angelic voices cry, Hallelujah!
Singing evermore on high, Hallelujah!
2 He Who gave for us His life, Hallelujah!
Who for us endured the strife, Hallelujah!
Is our Paschal Lamb to-day; Hallelujah!
We too, sing for joy and say Hallelujah!
3 He who bore all pain and loss Hallelujah!
Comfortless upon the cross, Hallelujah!
Lives in glory now on high, Hallelujah!
Pleads for us and hears our cry; Hallelujah!
4 He whose path no records tell, Hallelujah!
Who descended into hell, Hallelujah!
Who the strong man armed hath bound, Hallelujah!
Now in highest heaven is crowned. Hallelujah!
5 He Who slumbered in the grave, Hallelujah!
Is exalted now to save; Hallelujah!
Now through Christendom it rings Hallelujah!
That the Lamb is King of kings. Hallelujah!
6 Now he bids us tell abroad, Hallelujah!
How the lost may be restored, Hallelujah!
How the penitent forgiven, Hallelujah!
How we, too, may enter heaven. Hallelujah!
7 Thou, our Paschal Lamb indeed, Hallelujah!
Christ, Thy ransomed people feed: Hallelujah!
Take our guilt and sins away, Hallelujah!
That we all may sing for aye. Hallelujah!
