Christ, the Lord, is Risen Today

(another song with same title can be found here.)

1.
Christ, the Lord is ris’n today,
Alleluia!
All on earth with angels say,
Alleluia!
Raise your love and triumphs high,
Alleluia!
Sing ye heav’ns and earth reply,
Alleluia!

2.
Lives again our glorious King;
Alleluia!
Where, O death, is now thy sting?
Alleluia!
Once he died our souls to save,
Alleluia!
Where thy victory, O grave?
Alleluia!

3.
Love’s redeeming work is done,
Alleluia!
Fought the fight, the battle won.
Alleluia!
Death in vain forbids him rise;
Alleluia!
Christ has open’d paradise.
Alleluia!

4.
Soar we now where Christ has led,
Alleluia!
Foll’wing our exalted head;
Alleluia!
Made like him, like he we rise,
Alleluia!
Ours the cross, the grave the skies.
Alleluia!

Holy Patron, Thee Saluting

1.
Holy Patron, thee saluting
Here we meet, with hearts sincere;
Blest Saint Joseph, all unitying,
Call on thee to hear our prayer.

HAPPY SAINT, IN BLISS ADORING
JESUS, SAVIOR OF HUMAN KIND,
HEAR THY CHILDREN, THEE IMPLORING
MAY WE THY PROTECTION FIND.

2.
Thou who faithfully attended
Him whom heav'n and earth adore;
Who with pious care defended
Mary, Virgin ever pure.

3.
May our fervent prayers ascending,
Move thee for our souls to plead;
May thy smile of peace descending,
benedictions on us shed.

4.
Through this life, O watch around us!
Fill with love our ev'ry breath,
And, when parting fear surrounds us,
Guide us through the toils of death.
