14621. Christ Is Risen

1 Hail the joy to mortals given,
Christ hath conquered hosts of sin;
Keys of death have opened Heaven,
All who will may enter in.

Refrain:
Christ is ris’n—o’er death victorious,
Hail the joy the message brings;
Christ is ris’n to life most glorious,
Hail, O hail the King of kings.

2 Christ is ris’n from grief to glory,
From a grave unto a throne;
Hail the glad and wondrous story,
Hail, O hail the kingly One. [Refrain]

3 Join, O heart, the song of gladness,
Join the strains of earth and Heaven;
Vanished now all gloom and sadness,
Joy is to the nations giv’n. [Refrain]
