The Lord is risen indeed:
can this good news be true?
Yes! those who saw the Saviour bleed
have seen him risen too.
2. The Lord is risen indeed!
Now is his work performed:
now is the mighty captive freed
and death’s strong castle stormed.
3. The Lord is risen indeed!
Then justice asks no more;
mercy and truth are now agreed,
which stood opposed before.
4. The Lord is risen indeed!
The grave has lost its prey;
with him is risen the ransomed seed
to reign in endless day.
5. The Lord is risen indeed!
He lives, to die no more;
he lives, the sinner’s cause to plead
whose curse and shame he bore.
6. Now tune your songs with love
and strike a joyful chord;
join all the radiant hosts above
to praise our risen Lord.
