Christ the Lord Is Risen Today                 033

         words by Charles Wesley; Arranged from Lyra Davidica

1. 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!

2. Lives again our glorious King: Alleluia!
   Where, O death, is now thy sting? Alleluia!
   Dying once, He all doth 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 hath opened Paradise. Alleluia!

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!
