1 Christ the Lord is risen today,
Sons of men and angels say;
Raise your joys and triumphs high,
Sing, ye heavens, and earth, reply.
Love's redeeming work is done,
Fought the fight, the battle won;
Lo! the Sun's eclipse is o'er,
Lo! he sets in blood no more. A-men.

2 Vain the stone, the watch, the seal,
Christ hath burst the gates of hell;
Death in vain forbids his rise,
Christ hath opened Paradise.
Lives again our glorious King,
Where, O death, is now thy sting?
Once he died our souls to save,
Where thy victory, O grave?

3 Soar we now where Christ hath led,
Following our exalted Head:
Made like him, like him we rise;
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies.
Hail the Lord of earth and heaven,
Praise to thee by both be given;
Thee we greet triumphant now,
Hail, the Resurrection Thou!

Amen.
