| Christ the Lord is risen again! Christ hath broken every chain! Hark, the angels shout for joy, Singing evermore on high, Hallelujah. | | He who gave for us His life, Who for us endured the strife, Is our Paschal Lamb to-day! We too sing for joy, and say: Hallelujah. | | He who bore all pain and loss Comfortless upon the cross, Lives in glory now on high, Pleads for us and hears our cry: Hallelujah. | | He whose path no records tell, Who descended into hell, Who the strong man arm'd hath bound, Now in highest heaven is crown'd: Hallelujah. | | 38 He who slumber'd in the grave, Is exalted now to save; Now through Christendom it rings That the Lamb is King of kings! Hallelujah. | | Now He bids us tell abroad, How the lost may be restored, How the penitent forgiven, How we too may enter heaven. Hallelujah. | | Thou our Paschal Lamb indeed, Christ, to-day Thy people feed; Take our sins and guilt away, That we all may sing for aye, Hallelujah. | |
