| Text: | The Lord Is Risen Indeed! |
| Author: | Edward Young |
| Tune: | EASTER ANTHEM |
| Composer: | William Billings |
The Lord is risen indeed! Hallelujah!
The Lord is risen indeed! Hallelujah!
Now is Christ risen from the dead
and become the first fruits of them that slept.
Now is Christ risen from the dead
and become the first fruits of them that slept.
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.
And did he rise?
And did he rise?
Did he rise?
Hear, O ye nations!
Hear it, O ye dead!
He rose, he rose, he rose, he rose,
He burst the bars of death.
He burst the bars of death.
He burst the bars of death and triumphed o’er the grave.
Then, then, then I rose, then I rose, then I rose, then I rose!
Then first humanity, triumphant, passed the crystal ports of light
and seized eternal youth.
Thus, all immortal, hail, hail!
Heaven has lavished its strange gifts to all.
Thine all the glory, ours the boundless bliss!
Thine all the glory, ours the boundless bliss!
