Christ the Lord Is Risen Today
Charles Wesley

Christ the Lord is ris'n today, Alleluia!
Sons of men and angels say: Alleluia!
Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia!
Sing, ye heav'ns, and earth reply. Alleluia!
Verse 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!
Verse 3
Love's redeeming work is done, Alleluia!
Fought the fight, the battle won; Alleluia!
Death in vain forbids Him rise: Alleluia!
Christ has opened Paradise. Alleluia!
Verse 4
Soar we now, where Christ has led, Alleluia!
Foll'wing our exalted Head; Alleluia!
Made like Him, like Him we rise; Alleluia!
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies. Alleluia!
