Lyrics

Refrain

Christ, the Lord, is ris­en to­day,
He is ris­en in­deed;
Christ, the Lord, is ris­en to­day,
He is ris­en in­deed.

He cap­tive led cap­ti­vi­ty,
He robbed the grave of vic­to­ry,

He broke the bars of death,
He broke the bars of death.

Refrain

Hallelujah, hal­le­lu­jah,
Hallelujah, Amen.
Hallelujah, hal­le­lu­jah,
Hallelujah, Amen.

Let ev­ery mourn­ing soul re­joice,
And sing with one unit­ed voice;
The Sav­ior rose to­day,
The Sav­ior rose to­day.

Refrain

The great and glo­ri­ous work is done,
Free grace to all thro’ Christ, the Son;
Hosanna to His name,
Hosanna to His name.

Refrain

Let all that fill the earth and sea
Break forth in tune­ful me­lo­dy,
And swell the migh­ty song,
And swell the migh­ty song.
