Christ is ris­en, Christ is ris­en,
Let our hearts with glad­ness sing;
Nevermore shall tomb im­pri­son
Jesus Christ, our Lord and king.
To our cap­tain and de­fend­er
We would ev­ery trib­ute pay;
Loving ser­vice we would ren­der,
On this happy East­er Day.

Refrain

Hallelujah! sing, hal­le­lu­jah!
Let our hearts with glad­ness ring;
Hallelujah! sing, hal­le­lu­jah!
Christ is ris’n our Lord and king.

Oh, that all could know this sto­ry,
Of the Sav­ior’s won­drous love,
How the Lord left all His glo­ry,
Left His hap­py home above;
And to show the love He bore us,
And the price of sin to pay,
Over death be­came vic­to­ri­ous,
So we keep His East­er Day.

Refrain

If to fol­low Him we’re striv­ing,
And our cross­es meek­ly bear,
At His hap­py home ar­riv­ing,
We shall in His glo­ry share.
Then to Him who died to save us,
Grateful hom­age let us pay;
His own life He free­ly gave us,
So we keep His East­er Day.
