Hymnal and Order of Service ‎#82b

82b. Christ the Lord is Risen To-day

1 Christ the Lord is risen today, Hallelujah!
Earth and heaven in chorus say. Hallelujah!
Raise your joys and triumphs high; Hallelujah!
Sing, ye heavens, and earth reply. Hallelujah!

2 Love's redeeming work is done, Hallelujah!
Fought the fight, the battle won; Hallelujah!
Lo! the sun's eclipse is o'er; Hallelujah!
Lo! he sets in blood no more. Hallelujah!

3 Vain the stone, the watch, the seal; Hallelujah!
Christ hath burst the gates of hell! Hallelujah!
Death in vain forbids His rise; Hallelujah!
Christ hath opened paradise. Hallelujah!

4 Lives again our glorious King; Hallelujah!
Where, O death, is now thy sting? Hallelujah!
Dying once, He all doth save; Hallelujah!
Where thy victory, O grave? Hallelujah!

5 Soar we now where Christ has led, Hallelujah!
Following our exalted Head; Hallelujah!
Made like Him, like Him we rise; Hallelujah!
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies! Hallelujah!

6 Hail, the Lord of earth and heaven! Hallelujah!
Praise to Thee by both be given: Hallelujah!
Thee we greet triumphant now; Hallelujah!
Hail, the Resurrection, Thou! Hallelujah!

Amen.
