Christ the Lord is risen again!

1 Christ the Lord is risen again!
Christ has broken death's strong chain!
Hark, the angels shout for joy,
Singing evermore on high:
Hallelujah!

2 He who gave for us His life,
Who for us endured the strife,
Is our Paschal Lamb today!
We, too, sing for joy and say:
Hallelujah!

3 He who bore all pain and loss
Comfortless upon the cross,
Lives in glory now on high,
Pleads for us and hears our cry:
Hallelujah!

4 He whose path no records tell,
Who descended into hell,
He the strong man armed hath bound,
Now in highest heaven is crowned:
Hallelujah!

5 He who slumbered in the grave,
Is exalted now to save;
Now through Christendom it rings
That the Lamb is King of kings!
Hallelujah!

6 Now He bids us tell mankind
How all may salvation find,
How poor sinners are forgiven,
And through faith may enter heaven:
Hallelujah!
