Christ is risen! Christ is risen! He hath burst His bonds in twain; Christ is risen! Christ is risen! Alleluia! swell the strain! For our gain He suffered loss By divine decree; He hath died upon the cross, But our God is He. Refrain Christ is risen! Christ is risen! He hath burst His bonds in twain; Christ is risen! Christ is risen! Alleluia! swell the strain! See the chains of death are broken; Earth below and Heav???n above Joy in each amazing token Of His rising, Lord of love; He forevermore shall reign By the Father???s side, Till He comes to earth again, Comes to claim His Bride. Refrain Glorious angels downward thronging Hail the Lord of all the skies; Heav???n, with joy and holy longing For the Word Incarnate cries, ???Christ is risen! Earth, rejoice! Gleam, ye starry train! All creation, find a voice; He o???er all shall reign.??? Refrain
