CHRIST THE LORD IS RISEN AGAIN

[1]
Christ the Lord is risen again;
Christ has broken every chain;
hark! the angels shout for joy,
singing evermore on high:
Hallelujah!

[2]
He who gave for us his life,
who for us endured the strife,
is our paschal Lamb today;
we too sing for joy, and say:
Hallelujah!

[3]
He who bore all pain and loss
comfortless upon the cross,
lives in glory now on high,
pleads for us, and hears our cry:
Hallelujah!

[4]
He who slumbered in the grave
is exalted now to save;
now through Christendom it rings
that the Lamb is King of kings:
Hallelujah!

[5]
Now he bids us tell abroad
how the lost may be restored,
how the penitent forgiven,
how we too may enter heaven:
Hallelujah !

[6]
Christ our paschal Lamb indeed,
Christ, today your people feed;
take our sins and guilt away,
that our song may be alway:
Hallelujah!
