"Christ the Lord is risen to-day !" Hallelujah ! Sons of men and angels say; Hallelujah ! Raise your joy and triumph high, Hallelujah ! Sing, ye heavens ! and earth, reply: Hallelujah !
2. Love's redeeming work is done: Fought the fight, the battle won: Lo ! our Sun's eclipse is o'er; Lo ! He sets in blood no more:
3. Vain the stone, the watch, the seal, Christ hath burst the gates of hell; Death in vain forbids His rise, Christ hath opened Paradise:
4. Lives again our glorious King; Where, O death, is now thy sting ? Once He died our souls to save; Where's thy victory, boasting grave ?
5. King of glory ! Soul of bliss ! Everlasting life is this: Thee to know, Thy power to prove, Thus to sing, and thus to love:
