1 "The Lord is ris'n indeed,"
And are the tidings true?
Yes, we beheld the Savior bleed,
And saw Him living too.

2 "The Lord is ris'n indeed,"
Then justice asks no more;
Mercy and Truth are now agreed,
Who stood opposed before.

3 "The Lord is ris'n indeed,"
Then is the work performed;
The captive surely now is freed,
And death, our foe, disarmed.

4 "The Lord is ris'n indeed,"
Attending angels hear;
Up to the courts of heav'n, with speed,
The joyful tidings bear.

5 Then take your golden lyres,
And strike each cheerful chord;
Join all the bright celestial choirs
To sing our risen Lord.
