133. Christ, the Lord, is risen again

1 Christ, the Lord, is risen again,
Christ hath broken every chain;
Hark! angelic voices cry,
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 Now He bids us tell abroad
How the lost may be restored,
How the penitent forgiven
How we, too, may enter heaven;
Hallelujah!
