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!
