| 1. Christ the Lord is risen on high!
Sing, ye heavens, and earth reply;
He endures the Cross, the grave,
Sinners to redeem and save.
2. Love’s redeeming work is done,
Fought the fight, the battle won!
He Himself our ransom paid,
Peace with God for ever made.
3. Vain the stone, the watch, the seal,
Christ has burst the gates of hell;
Vain their efforts to enthral,
He has triumphed over all.
Christ our Lord is risen indeed,
Christ is now the Church’s Head;
Loud the song of triumph raise,
Celebrate the Victor’s praise.
