Christ, the Lord, Is Risen Today ================================ w: Charles Wesley m: Several tunes; some leave out alleluias [Verse 1] Christ, the Lord, is ris'n today; Alleluia! All on earth with angels say; Alleluia! Raise your joys and triumphs high; Alleluia! Sing, O heav'ns, and earth reply: Alleluia! [Verse 2] Lives again our glorious King; Alleluia! Where, O death, is now your sting? Alleluia! Once he died our souls to save; Alleluia! Where your victory, O grave? Alleluia! [Verse 3] Love's redeeming work is done; Alleluia! Fought the fight, the battle won; Alleluia! Death in vain forbids him rise; Alleluia! Christ has opened paradise. Alleluia! [Verse 4] Soar we now where Christ has led, Alleluia! Foll'wing our exalted Head; Alleluia! Made like him, like him we rise; Alleluia! Ours the cross, the grave, the skies. Alleluia!
