144 Christ Is Arisen
Christ is arisen
From the grave's dark prison.
We now rejoice with gladness;
Christ will end all sadness.
Lord, have mercy.
All our hopes were ended
Had Jesus not ascended
From the grave triumphantly.
For this, Lord Christ, our thanks shall be.
Lord, have mercy.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Alleluia!
We now rejoice with gladness;
Christ will end all sadness.
Lord, have mercy.
