Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a89 (1895) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 "The Lord is ris'n indeed,"
And are the tidings true?
Yes, we beheld the Savior bleed,
And saw him living too.
2 "The Lord is ris'n indeed,"
Then Justice asks no more;
Mercy and Truth are now agreed,
Who stood opposed before.
3 "The Lord is ris'n indeed,"
Then is the work performed;
The captive surely now is freed,
And death, our foe, disarmed.
4 "The Lord is ris'n indeed,"
Attending angels hear;
Up to the courts of heav'n, with speed,
The joyful tidings bear.
5 Then take your golden lyres,
And strike each cheerful chord,
Join all the bright celestial choirs
To sing our risen Lord. Topics: The Church Year Easter Languages: English
