Text: | "The Lord is risen indeed!" |
Author: | Thomas Kelly |
1 The Lord is risen indeed!"
And are the tidings true?
Yes, they beheld the Saviour bleed,
And saw him living too.
"The Lord is risen indeed!"
Then justice asks no more;
Mercy and truth are now agreed,
Who stood opposed before.
2 "The Lord is risen indeed!"
Then is his work performed;
The mighty Captive now is freed,
And death, our foe, disarmed.
"The Lord is risen indeed!"
He lives to die no more;
He lives, the sinner's cause to plead,
Whose curse and shame he bore.
3 "The Lord is ris'n indeed!"
Attending angels! hear;
Up to the courts of heaven with speed
The joyful tidings bear.
Then wake your golden lyres,
And strike each cheerful chord;
Join all the bright, celestial choirs!
To sing our risen Lord.
