Christ the Lord is Risen Today

Author: Charles Wesley (1707-1788) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 1,174 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 12:2 Lyrics: 1 'Christ the Lord is risen today', all on earth 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! our Sun's eclipse is o'er; lo! he sets in blood no more. 2 Vain the stone, the watch, the seal; Christ has burst the gates of hell: death in vain forbids his rise; Christ has 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 has 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!

O the wormwood and gall! O the grief his souls sustained! Shun not suffering, shame, or loss; learn of him to bear the cross. 3 Calvary's mournful mountain climb; there, adoring at his feet, mark that miracle of time— God's own sacrifice complete.

Look off unto Jesus, now sorrow no more! The light of his countenance shineth so bright, That here, as in heaven, there need be no night. 2 While looking to Jesus, my heart cannot fear; I tremble no more when I see Jesus near; I know that his presence my safeguard will be, For, "Why are you troubled," he saith unto me. 3 Still looking to Jesus, oh, may I be found, When Jordan's dark waters encompass me round; They bear me away in his presence to be: I see him still nearer whom always I see. 4 Then, then shall I know the full beauty and grace Of Jesus, my Lord, when I stand face to face; Shall know how his love went before me each day, And wonder that ever my eyes turned away.
