Christ The Lord Is Risen Today -- Instrumental Hymn

Christ The Lord Is Risen Today is written by Charles Wesley, 1739 with the tune by Joseph David Jones, 1868.

Christ the Lord is risen today, alleluia!
Sons of men and angels say, alleluia!
Raise your joys and triumphs high, alleluia!
Sing, ye heavens, and earth reply, alleluia!

Lives again our glorious King, alleluia!
Where, o death, is now thy sting? Alleluia!
Once He died, our souls to save, alleluia!
Where thy victory, o grave? Alleluia!

Love's redeeming work is done, alleluia!
Fought the fight, the battle won, alleluia!
Death in vain forbids Him rise, alleluia!
Christ hath opened paradise, alleluia!

Soar we now where Christ has led, alleluia!
Following our exalted Head, alleluia!
Made like Him, like Him we rise, alleluia!
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies, alleluia!
