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
