Christ, the Lord, is risen today, Alleluia!
Sons of men and angels say, Alleluia!
Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia!
Sing, ye heavens, and earth reply, Alleluia!
Lives again our glorious King, Alleluia!
Where, O death, is now thy sting? Alleluia!
Once He died our souls to save, Alleluia!
Christ hath opened paradise, Alleluia!
Love’s redeeming work is done, Alleluia!
Fought the fight, the battle won, Alleluia!
Lo! The Sun’s eclipse is over, Alleluia!
Lo! He sets in blood no more, Alleluia!
Soar we now where Christ hath led, Alleluia!
Following our exalted Head, Alleluia!
Made like Him, like Him we rise, Alleluia!
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies, Alleluia!
Thy Kingdom Come!
Rise, ye dearly purchased sinners, filled with faith’s assurance rise, through the loss of Jesus winners, Lord of all in earth and skies. Sing, and triumph In his bleeding sacrifice.
To his meritorious passion all our happiness we owe, pardon, holiness, salvation, heaven above, and heaven below. Grace and glory From that open fountain flow.
Blessed in our returning Saviour, when he has prepared our place We shall reign with Him for ever, folded in his love’s embrace: Come, Redeemer, show us all thy heavenly face! (Charles Wesley, a prayer to be sung)
