Christ Is Risen

In the tomb so cold they laid him
Death its victim claimed.
Pow'rs of hell, they could not hold Him;
Back to life He came!

####Chorus:

[M] Christ is risen! [W] Christ is risen!
[M] Death has been conquer'd
[W] Death has been conquer'd
[M] Christ is risen! [W] Christ is risen!
[ALL] He shall reign for evermore.

Hell had spent its fury on Him,
Left Him crucified.
Yet, by blood, He boldly conquered,
Sin and death defied.

####

Now the fear of death is broken,
Love has won the crown.\
Pris'ners of the darkness listen,
Walls are tumbling down.

####

Raised from death to heaven ascending,
Love's exalted King.
Let His song of joy, unending,
Through the nations ring!
