Tune: | RESURRECTION HYMN |

1 Christ, the Lord, is ris'n to-day,
Christians, haste your vows to pay;
Offer ye your praises meet,
At the Paschal Victim's feet.
2 For the sheep the Lamb hath bled,
Sinless in the sinner's stead;
"Christ is ris'n," to-day we cry:
Now He lives no more to die.
3 Christ, the Victim undefiled,
God and man hath reconciled;
While in strange and awful strife,
Met together death and Life:
4 Christians, on this happy day
Haste with joy your vows to pay;
"Christ is ris'n," to-day, we cry:
Now He lives, no more to die.
5 Christ Who once for sinners bled,
Now the first-born from the dead,
Throned in endless might and power,
Lives and reigns for evermore.
6 Hail, Eternal Hope on high!
Hail, Thou King of victory!
Hail, Thou Prince of Life adored!
Help and save us, Gracious Lord!
Amen.
