1.
Christ the Lord is risen today;
Christians, haste your vows to pay;
Offer ye your praises meet
At the Pascal Victim’s feet.
For the sheep the Lamb hath bled,
Sinless in the sinner’s stead;
Christ the Lord, is risen, on high,
Now He lives, no more to die.
2.
Christ, the victim undefiled,
man to God hath reconciled;
When in strange and awful strife
met together death and life.
Christians on this happy day,
Haste with joy your vows to pay.
Christ the Lord is risen on high,
Now He lives no more to die.
3.
Say, O wondering Mary say
What you saw there on the way.
I beheld, where Christ has lain,
Empty tomb and angels twain.
I beheld the glory bright,
Of the rising Lord of light;
Christ my hope is risen again,
Now he lives, and lives to reign.
4.
Christ who once for sinners bled,
Now the first-born from the dead,
Throned in endless might and power,
Lives and reigns for evermore;
Hail, eternal hope on high,
Hail, our King of victory,
Hail, our Prince of life adored,
Help and save us, gracious Lord.
