Christ the Lord is Risen Today

Author: Charles Wesley (1707-1788) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 1,176 hymnals 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!
