1 The Lord is risen indeed!
The grave hath lost its prey;
With him shall rise the ransomed seed
To reign in endless day.

2 The Lord is risen indeed!
He lives to die no more;
He lives his people's cause to plead,
Whose curse and shame he bore.

3 The Lord is risen indeed!
Attending angels, hear;
Up to the courts of heaven, with speed,
The joyful tidings bear.

4 Then take your golden lyres,
And strike each cheerful chord;
Join all the bright, celestial choirs,
To sing our risen Lord.
