Verse 1:Christ the Lord is risen today
Sons of men and angels say
Raise your joys and triumphs high
Sing ye heavens and earth reply
Love's redeeming work is done
Fought the fight the battle won
Lo! our Sun's eclipse is over
Lo! He sets in blood no more
Verse 2:Vain the stone the watch the seal
Christ hath burst the gates of hell
Death in vain forbids His rise
Christ hath opened paradise
Lives again our glorious King
Where O death is now thy sting?
Once He died our souls to save
Where thy victory O grave?
Verse 3:Soar we now where Christ hath led
Following our exalted Head
Made like Him like Him we rise
Ours the cross the grave the skies
King of glory Soul of bliss
Everlasting life is this
Thee to know Thy power to prove
Thus to sing and thus to love
