HYMN Lyrics Text: Christ The Lord Is Risen Today

1. Christ the Lord is risen today,

Alleluia.

Christians haste your vows to pay,

Alleluia.

Otter ye your praises meet.

Alleluia.

At the paschal’s victim’s feet,

Alleluia.

2 For the Sheep the Lamb hath bled

Alleluia.

Sinless in the sinners’ stead,

Alleluia.

Christ the Lord is risen on high,

Alleluia.

Now he lives, no more to die,

Alleluia

3. Christ, the victim undefiled,

Alleluia.

Man to God hath reconciled,

Alleluia.

When in strange and awful strife,

Alleluia

Met together death and life, Alleluia.

4. Christians on this happy day

Alleluia.

Haste with joy your vows to pay

Alleluia.

Christ the Lord is risen on high,

Alleluia.

Now he lives no more to die,

Alleluia.

5. Say, O wondering Mary, say.

Alleluia.

What thou sawest on the way,

Alleluia.

I beheld where Christ had lain,

Alleluia.

Empty tomb and angels twain,

Alleluia.

6. I behold the glory bright,

Alleluia.

Of the risen Lord of light

Alleluia.

Christ my hope is risen again,

Alleluia.

Now he lives and lives to reign,

Alleluia.

7. Christ who once for sinners bled,

Alleluia.

Now the first born from the dead

Alleluia.

Throned in endless might and power

Alleluia.

Lives and reigns for evermore,

Alleluia.
