Christ the Lord Is Risen Today

He is Risen!

                               

1. That Easter day with joy was bright:
   the sun shone out with fairer light
   when to their longing eyes restored,
   the disciples saw their risen Lord.

1. His risen flesh with radiance glowed,
   his wounded hands and feet he showed;
   those scars their solemn witness gave
   that Christ was risen from the grave.

1. O Jesus, King of gentleness,
   do thou thyself our hearts possess,
   that we may give thee all our days
   the willing tribute of our praise.

1. O Lord of all, with us abide
   in this, our joyful Eastertide;
   from ev’ry weapon death can wield
   thine own redeemed forever shield.
