Christ is risen! Alleluia!
Alleluia! Christ is risen indeed!
To Jesus Christ, Our Living Lord

To Jesus Christ, our living Lord,
This grateful song we bring;
For He has conquered sin and hell,
Removed death's awful sting!
With steadfast hope and boundless joy,
We celebrate today;
The bonds of death are broken all,
The stone's been rolled away!
Death's hostile hold could not contain
His power o'er the grave;
Christ rose again in victory,
Our wretched souls to save!
No longer slaves to fear and death,
Triumphant let us be;
The victory that Christ has won,
He won for you and me!
Though death's the final enemy,
Its end is drawing nigh;
And though it's reigned for far too long,
It too shall surely die!
So let us all with cheerful hearts,
Be free from anxious gloom;
Let's set our minds on Christ above,
And on His empty tomb!
Let's think on heaven's blissful joy,
And on the death of death;
For that shall be our blessed hope,
When draws our final breath!
