Christ Is Risen Hymn

Christ Is Risen Hymn

Christ is risen! Christ is risen!
He hath burst his bonds in twain;
Christ is risen! Christ is risen!
Alleluia! swell the strain!
For our gain he suffered loss
By divine decree;
He hath die upon the cross,
But our God is he.

Refrain:
Christ is risen! Christ is risen!
He hath burst his bonds in twain;
Christ is risen! Christ is risen!
Alleluia! swell the strain!

See the chains of death are broken;
Earth below and heaven above
Joy in each amazing token
Of his rising, Lord of love;
He for evermore shall reign
By the Father's side,
Till he comes to earth again,
Come to claim his Bride

Refrain

Glorious angels downward thronging
Hail the Lord of all the skies;
Heaven, with joy and holy longing
For the Word Incarnate, cries,
"Sun and stars and earth rejoice!
Christ is risen again!
All creation find a voice;
He o'er all shall reign."

Refrain
