Author: Brian Wren, b. 1936 Hymnal: CBOW1994 #384 (1994) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Christ is alive! Let Christians sing Lyrics: 1 Christ is alive! Let Christians sing.
His cross stands empty to the sky.
Let streets and homes with praises ring.
His love in death shall never die.
2 Christ is alive! No longer bound
To distant years in Palestine,
He comes to claim the here and now
And conquer ev'ry place and time.
3 Not throned above, remotely high,
Untouched, unmoved by human pains,
But daily, in the midst of life,
Our Savior with the Father reigns.
4 In ev'ry insult, rift, and war
Where color, scorn or wealth divide,
He suffers still, yet loves the more,
And lives, though ever crucified.
5 Christ is alive! His Spirit burns
Through this and ev'ry future age,
Till all creation lives and learns
His joy, his justice, love and praise. Topics: Christ the King; Easter Season; Jesus Scripture: Romans 6:5-11 Languages: English Tune Title: TRURO
Christ Is Alive!
