Christ the Lord is risen to-day
Author: Cudworth Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 1,199 hymnals Scripture: Mark 16 Lyrics: 1 Christ the Lord is risen to-day,
Sons of men and angels say;
Raise your songs of triumph high;
Sing, ye heavens, and earth reply.
2 Love's redeeming work is done,
Fought the fight, the battle won;
Lo! our 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 thy victory, boasting Grave?
5 Soar we now where Christ hath led,
Following our exalted Head:
Made like him, like him we rise;
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies.

from sin's dominion free,
our Christ has brought us over
with hymns of victory.

that we may see aright
the Lord in rays eternal
of resurrection light;
and, listening to his accents,
may hear, so calm and plain,
his own "all hail" and, hearing,
may raise the victor strain.
3 Now let the heavens be joyful!
Let earth its song begin!
The world resound in triumph,
and all that is therein;
let all things seen and unseen
their notes of gladness blend;
for Christ the Lord has risen,
our Joy that has no end. Used With Tune: LANCASHIRE

And in highest heav'n is crowned.
