1."Christ, the Lord, is risen today!"
Sons of men and angels say,
Raise your joys and triumphs high,
Sing, ye heavens, and earth, reply!

2.Love's redeeming work is done,
Fought the fight, the battle won,
Lo! the Sun's eclipse is o'er,
Lo! He sets in blood no more.

3.Vain the stone, the watch, the seal,
Christ hath burst the gates of hell!
Death in vain forbids His rise,
Christ hath opened paradise!

4.Lives again our glorious King
Where, O death, is now thy sting?
Once He died our souls to save,
Where thy victory, O grave?

5.Soar we now where Christ hath led
Following our exalted Head;
Made like Him, like Him we rise,
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies.
