439. Lo! Christ Is Risen

Lo! Christ is risen
From the tomb's dread prison:
Let us all rejoice and sing,
To Him, our Victor, praises bring:
Lord, have mercy!
If He had not risen,
We still should be in prison,
Since He conquered death and hell,
We His joyful praises tell:
Lord, have mercy!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Lo! Christ is risen
From the tomb's dread prison:
Let us all rejoice and sing,
To Him, our Victor, praises bring:
Lord, have mercy.
