608. Christ the Lord Is Risen Today

1 Christ the Lord is ris'n today, Alleluia!
All on earth the angels say: Alleluia!
Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia!
Sing, O heav'ns; and, earth, reply: Alleluia!

2 Lives again our glorious king, Alleluia!
Where, O death, is now your sting? Alleluia!
Once he died our souls to save, Alleluia!
Where your victory, O grave? Alleluia!

3 Love's redeeming work is done, Alleluia!
Fought the fight, the battle won, Alleluia!
Death in vain forbids him rise, Alleluia!
Christ has opened paradise. Alleluia!

4 Soar we now where Christ has led, Alleluia!
Foll'wing our exalted Head, Alleluia!
Made like him, like him we rise, Alleluia!
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies. Alleluia!
