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!
