1 Christ the Lord is ris'n today; Alleluia! Christians, haste your vows to pay; Alleluia! Offer ye your praises meet Alleluia! At the Paschal Victim's feet. Alleluia! 2 For the sheep the Lamb hath bled, Alleluia! Sinless in the sinner's stead. Alleluia! 'Christ is ris'n,' today we cry; Alleluia! Now He lives no more to die. Alleluia! 3 Christ, the Victim undefiled, Alleluia! God and man hath reconciled, Alleluia! While in strange and aweful strife Alleluia! Met together death and life: Alleluia! 4 Christians, on this happy day Alleluia! Haste with joy your vows to pay. Alleluia! 'Christ is ris'n,' today we cry; Alleluia! Now He lives no more to die. Alleluia! 5 Christ, who once for sinners bled, Alleluia! Now the First-born from the dead, Alleluia! Throned in endless might and pow'r, Alleluia! Lives and reigns forevermore. Alleluia! 6. Hail, eternal Hope on high! Alleluia! Hail, Thou King of victory! Alleluia! Hail, Thou Prince of Life adored! Alleluia! Help and save us, gracious Lord. Alleluia!
