Christ Is Alive

Author: Brian Wren Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 54 hymnals First Line: Christ is alive! Let Christians sing Lyrics: 1 Christ is alive! Let Christians sing. The cross stands empty to the sky. Let streets and homes with praises ring. Love, drowned in death, shall never die. 2 Christ is alive! No longer bound To distant years in Palestine, But saving, healing, here and now, And touching ev’ry place and time. 3 In ev’ry insult, rift, and war, where color, scorn, or wealth divide, Christ suffers still, yet loves the more, and lives, where even hope has died. 4 Women and men, in age and youth, Can feel the Spirit, hear the call, And find the way, the life, the truth, Revealed in Jesus, freed for all. 5 Christ is alive, and comes to bring Good news to this and ev’ry age, Till earth and sky and ocean ring With joy, with justice, love and praise.

Let your light so shine around you that God's name is glorified; and all find fresh hope and purpose in Christ Jesus crucified. 3 Once you were an alien people, strangers to God's heart of love, but he brought you home in mercy, citizens of heav'n above. Let his love flow out to others, let them feel the Father's care; that they too may know his welcome and his countless blessings share. 4 Church of God, elect and holy, be the people he intends; strong in faith and swift to answer each command your master sends: royal priests, fulfill your calling through your sacrifice and prayer; give your lives in joyful service, sing his praise, his love declare.
