1 “Christ is alive” Let Christians sing!
His cross stands empty to the sky.
Let streets and homes with praises ring;
His love in death shall never die.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
2 Christ is alive! No longer bound
To distant years in Palestine,
He comes to claim the here and now
And conquer every place and time.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
3 Not throned above, remotely high,,
Untouched, unmoved by human pains,
But daily, in the midst of life,
Our Saviour with the Father reigns.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
4 In every insult, rift, and war,
Where color, scorn, or wealth divide,
He suffers still, yet loves the more,
And lives, though ever crucified.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
5 Christ is alive! Ascendant Lord,
He rules the world his Father made,
Till in the end, his love adored
Shall be to every man displayed.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
