Hymns of the Lutheran Church

334 Christ the Lord is risen again;

1 Christ the Lord is risen again; Hallelujah! Christ hath broken every chain; Hallelujah! Hark, angelic voices cry, Hallelujah! Singing evermore on high, Hallelujah! 2 He who gave for us His life, Who for us endured the strife, Is our Paschal Lamb to-day; We, too, sing for joy and say, Hallelujah! 3 He who bore all pain and loss Comfortless upon the cross, Lives in glory now on high, Pleads for us and hears our cry; Hallelujah! 4 He whose path no records tell, Who descended into hell, Who the strongman armed hath bound, Now in highest heaven is crowned. Hallelujah! 5 He who slumbered in the grave, Is exalted now to save; Now through Christendom it rings That the Lamb is King of kings. Hallelujah! 6 Now He bids us tell abroad How the lost may be restored, How the penitent forgiven, How we, too, may enter heaven. Hallelujah! 7 Thou our Paschal Lamb indeed, Christ, Thy ransomed people feed; Take our guilt and sins away That we all may sing for aye Hallelujah!
