“The Lord is risen indeed”

1.

“The Lord is risen indeed”

Now is his work performed

Now is the mighty captive freed

And death’s strong castle stormed

2.

“The Lord is risen indeed”

The grave has lost his prey

With him is risen the ransomed seed

To reign in endless day

3.

“The Lord is risen indeed”

He lives, to die no more

He lives, the sinner’s cause to plead

Whose curse and shame he bore

4.

“The Lord is risen indeed”

Attending angels hear

Up to the courts of heaven with speed

The joyful tidings hear

5.

Then, angels, tune your lyre

And strike cheerful chord

Join all ye bright celestial choirs

To sing our risen Lord
