MHB 207 – CHRIST the Lord is risen again;

Methodist-Hymns-207

1: CHRIST the Lord is risen again;
Christ hath broken every chain:
Hark, the  angels shout for joy,
Singing evermore on high:
Hallelujah!

2: He who gave for us His life,
Who for us endured the strife,
Is our paschal Lamb to-day;
we too sing for joy, and say:
Hallelujah!

3:  He who bore all pain and loss
Comfortless upon the Cross,
Lives in glory now on high,
Pleads for us, and hears our cry:
Hallelujah!

4:  He whose path no records tell,
Who descended into hell,
Who the strong man armed hath bound,
Now in highest heaven is crowned.
Hallelujah!

5:  He who slumbered in the grave
Is exalted now to save;
Now through Christendom it rings
That the Lamb is King of kings.
Hallelujah!

6: Now He bids us tell abroad
How the lost may be restored,
How the penitent forgiven,
How we too may enter heaven:
Hallelujah!

7:  Thou, our paschal Lamb indeed,
Christ, to-day Thy  people feed;
Take our sins and guilt away,
That we all may sing for aye:
Hallelujah!
