Lyrics

Christ is ris­en!
O’er His foes He reign­eth;
Head o’er all things,
He all worlds sus­tain­eth:
Sing hal­le­lu­jah! Hal­le­lu­ja!
Christ the Lord is ris­en!

Christ is ris­en!
Now to us is giv­en
Through His sor­rows,
Peace, His peace from Hea­ven!
Sing hal­le­lu­jah! Hal­le­lu­ja!
Christ the Lord is ris­en!

Christ is ris­en!
Now His Church in­her­its
Life eter­nal
Through her Sav­ior’s mer­its:
Sing hal­le­lu­jah! Hal­le­lu­ja!
Christ the Lord is ris­en!

Christ is ris­en!
Praise and ado­ra­tion,
Lord, we bring Thee;
And with ex­ul­ta­tion,
Sing hal­le­lu­jah! Hal­le­lu­ja!
Christ the Lord is ris­en!
