Christ the Lord is Risen Today

Christ the Lord is risen today, Alleluia! 

Sons of men and angels say: Alleluia! 

Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia! 

Sing, ye heavens, and earth reply: Alleluia! 

Lives again our glorious King, Alleluia! 

Where, O death, is now thy sting? Alleluia! 

Dying once, He all doth save, Alleluia! 

Where thy victory, O grave? Alleluia! 

Love's redeeming work is done, Alleluia! 

Fought the fight, the battle won, Alleluia! 

Death in vain forbids Him rise, Alleluia! 

Christ has opened paradise, Alleluia! 

Sing we to our God above, Alleluia! 

Praise eternal as His love; Alleluia! 

Praise Him, all ye heavenly host, Alleluia! 

Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Alleluia! 

Amen. 

He Is Lord

He is Lord, He is Lord! 

He is risen from the dead and He is Lord! 

Every knee shall bow, every tongue confess

That Jesus Christ is Lord. 

Thine Is The Glory

Thine be the glory, risen, conquering Son; 

Endless is the victory

Thou o'er death hast won. 

Angels in bright raiment

Rolled the stone away, 

Kept the folded grave clothes

Where Thy Body lay. 

CHORUS:

Thine be the glory, risen, conquering Son; 

Endless is the victory

Thou o'er death hast won. 

Lo! Jesus meets thee, 

Risen from the tomb; 

Lovingly He greets thee, 

Scatters fear and gloom. 

Let the church with gladness 

Hymns of gladness sing, 

For our Lord now liveth; 

Death hast lost its sting. 

[CHORUS]

No more we doubt Thee, 

Glorious Price of Life! 

Life is naught without Thee; 

Aid us in our strife. 

Make us more than conquerors, 

Through Thy deathless love; 

Bring us safe through Jordan 

Through Thy home above. 

[CHORUS]
