Jesus Christ is Risen Today

Alleluia! Alleluia!

1.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Hearts to heav’n and voices raise;
Sing to God a hymn of gladness,
Sing to God a hymn of praise.
He who one the cross as Savior
For the world’s salvation bled,
Jesus Christ, the King of Glory,
Now is risen from the dead.

2.
Now the iron bars are broken,
Christ from death to life is born,
Glorious life, and life immortal
On this resurrection morn;
Christ has triumphed and we conquer
By his mighty enterprise,
We with him to life eternal
By his resurrection rise.

Christ, the Lord, is Risen Today (II)

(Another song with the same title can be found here.)

1.
Christ, the Lord, is ris'n today;
Christians haste your vows to pay;
Make your joy and praises known
At the Paschal Victim's throne;
For the sheep the Lamb has bled,
Sinless in the sinner's stead;
Christ, the Lord, is risn' on high;
Noe he lives, no more to die!

2.
Christ, the Victim undefiled,
god and sinners reconciled;
When in strange and awesome strife
Met together death and life;
Christians, on this happy day
Haste with joy your vows to pay;
Christ, the Lord is risn'n on high;
Now he lives, no more to die!

3.
Say, O wond'ring Mary, say
What you saw along the way.
"I beheld two angels bright,
empty tomb and wrappings white;
I beheld the glory bright
Of the risen Lord of light.
Christ, my hope, is ris'n again;
Now he lives, and lives to reign!"

4.
Christ, who once for sinners bled,
Now the firstborn from the dead,
Throned in endless might and pow'r,
Lives and reigns forevermore.
Hail, eternal Hope on high!
Hail, our King of Victory!
Hail, our Prince of Life adored!
Help and save us, gracious Lord!
