CHRIST IS RISEN!

1 "Christ is risen!" Let the cry
Fill the earth, the sea, the sky:
Death is dead! Christ brings in might
Immortality to light!


2 "Christ is risen!" The empty tomb
Now dispels our fear and gloom:
Jesus, mighty now to save,
Brings us victory o'er the grave!


3 "Christ is risen!" Dead to sin,
We are raised to reign with Him:
Satan to the earth is hurled --
Christ now overcomes the world.

4 "Christ is ris'n!" In Him we died:
Fleshly lusts are crucified;
Newness of eternal life
More than conquers in the strife.

5 "Christ is risen!" So shall wee
Rise to immortality
At the dread last trumpet call:
God shall then be all in all.

6 "Christ is risen!" Let us laud
Him who bought us with His Blood:
Prince and Saviour, Paschal Lamb,
Jesus, Lord -- the Great I AM!

7 Let us praise with angel hosts
FATHER, SON, and HOLY GHOST --
Praise, O praise, earth, sky and sea,
GOD the blessed TRINITY!
