RCCG Hymn 161
Christ the Lord Is Risen Today!
"He is risen, He is not here." - Mark. 16:6
Christ the Lord is risen today! Hallelujah! Sons of men and angels say, Hallelujah! Raise your songs and triumphs high: Hallelujah! Sing! ye heav'ns; thou earth reply; Hallelujah!
Love's redeeming work is done, Fought the fight, the battle won: Lo! our sun's eclipse is o'er; Lo! he sets in blood no more:
Vain the stone, the watch, the seal, Christ hath burst the gates of hell; Death in vain forbids Him rise, Christ hath opened Paradise.
Lives again our glorious King: Where, O death, is now thy sting? Once He died our souls to save; Where's thy victory, O grave?
Soar we now where Christ hath led, Following our exalted Head: Made like Him, like Him we rise; Ours the cross, the grave, the skies.
Hail! the Lord of earth and heaven; Praise to Thee by both be given, Thee we greet triumphant now: Hail! the Resurrection, Thou!
