130. Christ the Lord Is Risen To-day

1 Christ the Lord is ris'n to-day,
Christians, haste your vows to pay,
Offer ye your praises meet,
At the Paschal Victim's feet.
For the sheep the Lamb hath bled,
Sinless, in the sinner's stead;
"Christ is ris'n," to-day we cry;
Now He lives, no more to die.

2 Christ, the Victim undefiled,
Man to God hath reconciled,
Whilst in strange and awful strife
Met together Death and Life.
Christians, on this happy day,
Haste with joy your vows to pay;
"Christ is risen," to-day we cry;
Now He lives, no more to die.

3 Christ, who once for sinners bled,
Now the First-born from the dead,
Throned in endless might and power
Lives and reigns for evermore.
Hail, eternal Hope on high!
Hail, Thou King of victory!
Hail, Thou Prince of Life adored!
Help and save us, gracious Lord.

Amen.
