Christ, the Lord, Is Risen Again

1.

Christ, the Lord, is ris’n again,

Christ has broken ev'ry chain!

Hark, the angels shout for joy,

Singing evermore on high:

Alleluia! Alleluia!

Alleluia! Alleluia!

2.

Christ who gave for us his life,

Who for us endured the strife,

Is our Paschal Lamb today.

We, too, sing for joy, and say:

Alleluia! Alleluia!

Alleluia! Alleluia!

3.

Christ who bore all pain and loss

Comfortless upon the cross,

Lives in glory now on high,

Pleads for us, and hears our cry:

Alleluia! Alleluia!

Alleluia! Alleluia!

4.

He who slumbered in the grave

is exalted now to save;

Now throughout the world it rings

That the Lamb is King of kings.

Alleluia! Alleluia!

Alleluia! Alleluia!

5.

Now he bids us tell abroad

How the lost may be restored,

How the penitent forgiv’n,

How we, too, may enter heav'n.

Alleluia! Alleluia!

Alleluia! Alleluia!

6.

You, our Paschal Lamb indeed,

Christ, today your people feed;

Take our sins and guilt away,

That we all may sing for joy:

Alleluia! Alleluia!

Alleluia! Alleluia!
