Hymn Text
Verse 1
Christ the Lord is ris'n today,
Christians, haste your vows to pay.
Offer ye your praises meet,
At the Paschal victim's feet.
For the sheep the Lamb has bled,
Sinless in the sinner s stead.
Christ the Lord, is ris'n on high,
Now He lives, no more to die.
Verse 2
Christ, the victim undefiled,
Man to God has reconciled,
When, in strange and awful stride,
Met together death and life.
Christians, on this happy day,
Haste with joy your vows to pay.
Christ the Lord is ris'n on high.
Now He Iives no more to die.
Verse 3
Say, O wond’ring Mary say
What you saw there on the way.
"I beheld, where Christ has lain,
Empty tomb and angels twain.
beheld thee glory bright,
Of the rising Lord of light;
Christ my hope is ris’n again,
Now He lives, and lives to reign."
Verse 4
Christ who once for sinners bled,
Now the first-born from the dead,
Throned in endless might and powr
Lives and reigns for evermore.
Hail, eternal hope on high,
Hail, our King of victòry.
Hail, our Prince of life adored,
Help and save us, gracious Lord.
