 1 

Christ the Lord is ris'n indeed,

Hallelujah!

He has met His people's need,

Hallelujah!

Raise your joys and triumphs high,

Hallelujah!

Sing, ye heav'ns and earth, reply,

Hallelujah!

 
 2 

Lives again our glorious King,

Hallelujah!

Where, O Death, is now thy sting?

Hallelujah!

Dying once He all doth save,

Hallelujah!

Where thy victory, O grave?

Hallelujah!

 
 3 

Love's redeeming work is done,

Hallelujah!

Fought the fight, the battle won,

Hallelujah!

Death in vain forbade Him rise,

Hallelujah!

Christ ascended o'er the skies,

Hallelujah!

 
 4 

Soar we now where Christ hath led,

Hallelujah!

Following our exalted Head,

Hallelujah!

Made like Him, like Him we rise,

Hallelujah!

Free from all the earthly ties,

Hallelujah!
