1
Christ is risen Christ is risen
He hath burst His bonds in twain
Christ is risen Christ is risen
Alleluia swell the strain
For our gain He suffered loss
By divine decree
He hath died upon the cross
But our God is He

Christ is risen Christ is risen
He hath burst His bonds in twain
Christ is risen Christ is risen
Alleluia swell the strain

2
See the chains of death are broken
Earth below and Heav’n above
Joy in each amazing token
Of His rising Lord of love
He forevermore shall reign
By the Father’s side
Till He comes to earth again
Comes to claim His Bride

Christ is risen Christ is risen
He hath burst His bonds in twain
Christ is risen Christ is risen
Alleluia swell the strain

3
Glorious angels downward thronging
Hail the Lord of all the skies
Heav’n with joy and holy longing
For the Word Incarnate cries
Christ is risen Earth rejoice
Gleam ye starry train
All creation find a voice
He o’er all shall reign

Christ is risen Christ is risen
He hath burst His bonds in twain
Christ is risen Christ is risen
Alleluia swell the strain
