Create PowerPoint slides from this hymn →A resurrection hymn by Scottish physician and hymn writer William Paton MacKay (1839–1885), meditating on the believer's standing before God through Christ's risen victory over sin, death, and judgment.
Verse 1
The Lord is risen: now death's dark judgment flood
Is passed in Him who bought us with His blood.
The Lord is risen: we stand beyond the doom
Of all our sin, through Jesus' empty tomb.
Verse 2
The Lord is risen: with Him we also rose,
And in His grave see all our vanquished foes.
The Lord is risen: beyond the judgment land
In Him, in resurrection-life, we stand.
Verse 3
The Lord is risen: we're now redeemed to God
And tread the desert which His feet have trod.
The Lord is risen: the sanctuary's our place
Where now we dwell before the Father's face.
Verse 4
The Lord is risen: the Lord is gone before;
We long to see Him and to sin no more!
The Lord is risen: our trumpet shout shall be,
"Thou hast prevailed! Thy people, Lord, are free!"
