Tune: Easter Hymn

('Jesus Christ is risen today')

Based on various Gospel verses

*********

Jesus, risen every day - Alleluia!

Stone from tomb is rolled away - Alleluia!

Christ triumphant over death - Alleluia!

Let all praise Him that has breath - Alleluia!

 

Come, come in, see where He lay - Alleluia!

Said angel that Easter day - Alleluia!

Face cloth folded separately - Alleluia!

From other linen cloths, see - Alleluia!

 

He not there, He had risen - Alleluia!

He met with some in garden - Alleluia!

And other appearances - Alleluia!

They did know Him, did Him sense - Alleluia!

 

Seek not living midst the dead - Alleluia!

Christ now e'er our living Head - Alleluia!

All as He had prophesied - Alleluia!

Now arisen, He had died - Alleluia!

 

Light and love and liberty - Alleluia!

From sins we may be set free - Alleluia!

Darkness ne'er o'ercomes the light - Alleluia!

E'erlasting, banishes night - Alleluia!

 

Christian's hope, now let all sing - Alleluia!

Unto Him praise, worship bring - Alleluia!

They who saw Him in person - Alleluia!

We by faith see, with them one - Alleluia!
