Original text and translations

English text

1.

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!

2.

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

3.

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

Lyrics: Arch­er T. Gur­ney, A Book of Praise, 1862
