Christ the Lord

- Christ the Lord is ris'n again,
- Christ has broken ev'ry chain;
- hear the angel voices cry,
- singing evermore on high:
- alleluia!
- He who gave for us his life,
- who for us endured the strife,
- is our paschal lamb today;
- we too sing for joy and say:
- alleluia!
- He who bore all pain and loss
- comfortless upon the cross
- lives in glory now on high,
- pleads for us and hears our cry:
- alleluia!
- He who slumbered in the grave
- is exalted now to save;
- through the universe it rings
- that the Lamb is King of kings:
- alleluia!
- Now he bids us tell abroad
- how the lost may be restored,
- how the penitent forgiven,
- how we too may enter heaven:
- alleluia!
- Christ, our paschal lamb indeed,
- all your ransomed people feed!
- Take our sins and guilt away;
- let us sing by night and day:
- alleluia!
