The Evangelical Hymnal ‎#120

120. "The Lord is risen indeed"

1 "The Lord is risen indeed!"
And are the tidings true?
Yes, we beheld the Saviour bleed,
And saw him living too,
And saw him living too.

2 "The Lord is risen indeed!"
Then Justice asks no more;
Mercy and Truth are now agreed,
Who stood opposed before,
Who stood opposed before.

3 "The Lord is risen indeed!"
Then is His work performed;
The captive surely now is freed,
And death our foe, disarmed,
And death our foe, disarmed.

4 "The Lord is risen indeed!"
Attending angels hear;
Up to the courts of heav'n, with speed,
The joyful tidings bear,
The joyful tidings bear.

4 Then take your golden lyres,
And strike each cheerful chord,
Join all the bright celestial choirs
To sing our risen Lord,
To sing our risen Lord.

Amen.
