87. Christ the Lord is Risen Again

1 Christ the Lord is risen again; Hallelujah!
Christ hath broken ev'ry chain; Hallelujah!
Hark, angelic voices cry, Hallelujah!
Singing evermore on high, Hallelujah!

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

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

4 Now he bids us tell abroad, Hallelujah!
How the lost may be restored, Hallelujah!
How the penitent forgiven, Hallelujah!
How we, too, may enter heaven. Hallelujah!
