Christ the Lord is risen today, | |||
Sons of men and angels say! | |||
Raise your joys and triumphs high; | |||
Sing, ye heavens; and, earth, reply. | |||
Love's redeeming work is done, | |||
Fought the fight, the battle won: | |||
Lo! our sun's eclipse is o'er; | |||
Lo! he sets in blood no more. | |||
Vain the stone, the watch, the seal; | |||
Christ has burst the gates of hell! | |||
Death in vain forbids his rise: | |||
Christ has open'd paradise! | |||
Lives again our glorious King: | |||
Where, O Death, is now thy sting? | |||
Dying once, he all doth save: | |||
Where thy victory, O Grave? | |||
Soar we now, where Christ has led! | |||
Following our exalted head, | |||
Made like him, like him we rise, | |||
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies! | |||
What though once we perish'd all, | |||
Partners in our parent's fall? | |||
Second life we all receive, | |||
In our heavenly Adam live. | |||
Risen with him, we upward move; | |||
Still we seek the things above; | |||
Still pursue, and kiss the Son | |||
Seated on his Father's throne: | |||
Scarce on earth a thought bestow, | |||
Dead to all we leave below; | |||
Heaven our aim, and loved abode, | |||
Hid our life with Christ in God! | |||
Hid; till Christ, our life, appear, | |||
Glorious in his members here: | |||
Join'd to him, we then shall shine | |||
All immortal, all divine! | |||
Hail, the Lord of earth and heaven! | |||
Praise to thee by both be given: | |||
Thee we greet triumphant now; | |||
Hail, the resurrection thou! | |||
King of glory, soul of bliss, | |||
Everlasting life is this, | |||
Thee to know, thy power to prove, | |||
Thus to sing, and thus to love! | |||
