Christ the Lord Is Risen Today!
April 4, 2010 by Lillie
Christ the Lord is risen today, Alleluia!
Listen to music in video below.
Christ, the Lord, is risen today, Alleluia!
Sons of men and angels say, Alleluia!
Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia!
Sing, ye heavens, and earth, reply, Alleluia!
Love’s redeeming work is done, Alleluia!
Fought the fight, the battle won, Alleluia!
Lo! the Sun’s eclipse is over, Alleluia!
Lo! He sets in blood no more, Alleluia!
Vain the stone, the watch, the seal, Alleluia!
Christ hath burst the gates of hell, Alleluia!
Death in vain forbids his rise, Alleluia!
Christ hath opened Paradise, Alleluia!
Lives again our glorious King, Alleluia!
Where, O death, is now thy sting? Alleluia!
Once he died our souls to save, Alleluia!
Where thy victory, O grave? Alleluia!
Soar we now where Christ hath led, Alleluia!
Following our exalted Head, Alleluia!
Made like Him, like Him we rise, Alleluia!
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies, Alleluia!
Hail, the Lord of earth and heaven, Alleluia!
Praise to thee by both be given, Alleluia!
Thee we greet triumphant now, Alleluia!
Hail, the resurrection day, Alleluia!
King of glory, Soul of bliss, Alleluia!
Everlasting life is this, Alleluia!
Thee to know, thy power to prove, Alleluia!
Thus to sing and thus to love, Alleluia!
Hymns of praise then let us sing, Alleluia!
Unto Christ, our heavenly King, Alleluia!
Who endured the cross and grave, Alleluia!
Sinners to redeem and save. Alleluia!
But the pains that he endured, Alleluia!
Our salvation have procured, Alleluia!
Now above the sky He’s King, Alleluia!
Where the angels ever sing. Alleluia!
Jesus Christ is risen today, Alleluia!
Our triumphant holy day, Alleluia!
Who did once upon the cross, Alleluia!
Suffer to redeem our loss. Alleluia!
Words: Charles Wesley (1707-1788), 1739

Happy Easter to you and your family also.
Happy Easter! We sang this song today in church. If you check my personal blog in an hour I actually recorded this part of our morning service.

Bluestocking,
I look forward to hearing your recording.
Easter was awesome! Went to church with my family and got to see both sets of grandparents…can’t ask for much more!
Tyler,
Glad you enjoyed Easter as much as we did.
Easter is a celebration of the resurrection of the Lord. It is said that Lord Jesus was raised from the dead, three days after his death on the cross. The Lord paid the penalty for sin through his death, burial and resurrection. May We all pray to Lord to forgive our sins and guide us in our paths. Happy Easter
He is risen! He is risen, indeed! Alleluia!
