Christ' s Resurrection

Christ, the Lord, is ris' n today, Sons of men and angels say; Raise your joys and triumphs high; Sing, ye heav' ns-and earth, reply.

Love' s redeeming work is done; Fought the battle; victte ry won: Lo! he' s risen conqueror, And shall sink in death no more.

Vain the watch, the seal, the stone; Christ as conqueror is known; Death in vain forbids his rise; Soon he' ll open paradise.

Lives again our glorious King; Where, O Death, is now thy sting? Once he died mankind to save; Where' s thy vict' ry, boasting Grave?
