Christ Is Risen! Christ Is Risen!

Christ is risen! Christ is risen!

He hath burst His bonds in twain;

Christ is risen! Christ is risen!

Alleluia! swell the strain!

For our gain He suffered loss

By divine decree;

He hath died upon the cross,

But our God is He.

Refrain

Christ is risen! Christ is risen!

He hath burst His bonds in twain;

Christ is risen! Christ is risen!

Alleluia! swell the strain!

See the chains of death are broken;

Earth below and Heav'n above

Joy in each amazing token

Of His rising, Lord of love;

He forevermore shall reign

By the Father's side,

Till He comes to earth again,

Comes to claim His Bride.

Refrain

Glorious angels downward thronging

Hail the Lord of all the skies;

Heav'n, with joy and holy longing

For the Word Incarnate cries,

"Christ is risen! Earth, rejoice!

Gleam, ye starry train!

All creation, find a voice;

He o'er all shall reign."

Refrain
