Christ Is Risen! Alleluia! Lyrics

Christ is risen! Alleluia

Risen our victorious head

Sing his praises! Alleluia

Christ is risen from the dead

Gratefully our hearts adore him

As his light once more appears

Bowing down in joy before him

Rising up from griefs and tears

Christ is risen! Alleluia

Risen our victorious head

Sing his praises! Alleluia

Christ is risen from the dead

Christ is risen! All the sadness

Of our Lenten fast is o'er

Through the open gates of gladness

He returns to life once more

Death and hell before him bending

See him rise, the victor now

Angels on his steps attending

Glory round his wounded brow

Christ is risen! Alleluia

Risen our victorious head

Sing his praises! Alleluia

Christ is risen from the dead

Christ is risen! All the sorrow

That last evening round him lay

Now hath found a glorious morrow

In the rising of today

See the grave its first-fruits giving

Springing up from holy ground

Christ was dead, but now is living

He was lost, but he is found

Christ is risen! Alleluia

Risen our victorious head

Sing his praises! Alleluia

Christ is risen from the dead

Christ is risen! Henceforth never

Death or hell shall us enthrall

We are Christ's, in him forever

We have triumphed over all

All the doubting and dejection

Of our trembling hearts have ceased

Hail the day of resurrection

Let us rise and keep the feast

Christ is risen! Alleluia

Risen our victorious head

Sing his praises! Alleluia

Christ is risen from the dead
