1. Christ is risen! Hallelujah! Risen our victorious Head; Sing His praises; Hallelujah! Christ is risen from the dead. Gratefully our hearts adore Him, As His light once more appears; Bowing down in joy before Him, Rising up from griefs and tears. Christ is risen: Hallelujah! Risen our victorious Head; Sing His praises; Hallelujah! Christ is risen from the dead. 2. Christ is risen! All the sadness Of His earthly life is o'er; Through the open gates of gladness He returns to life once more; Death and hell before Him bending, He doth rise the Victor now, Angels on His steps attending, Glory round His wounded brow. Christ is risen: Hallelujah! Risen our victorious Head; Sing His praises; Hallelujah! Christ is risen from the dead. 3. Christ is risen! Henceforth never Death nor hell shall us enthrall; We are Christ's, in Him forever We have triumphed over all; All the doubting and dejection Of our trembling hearts have ceased, 'Tis His day of resurrection; Let us rise and keep the feast. Christ is risen: Hallelujah! Risen our victorious Head; Sing His praises; Hallelujah! Christ is risen from the dead.
