Create PowerPoint slides from this hymn →An Easter resurrection hymn celebrating Christ's victory over death, sin, and the grave. The text borrows closely from Charles Wesley's 1739 Easter hymn, proclaiming redemption accomplished and peace with God secured.
Verse 1
Christ the Lord is risen on high!
Sing, ye heavens, and earth reply;
He endured the Cross, the grave,
Sinners to redeem and save.
Verse 2
Love's redeeming work is done,
Fought the fight, the battle won!
He Himself our ransom paid,
Peace with God forever made.
Verse 3
Vain the stone, the watch, the seal,
Christ has burst the gates of hell;
Vain their efforts to enthrall,
He has triumphed over all.
Verse 4
Christ our Lord is risen indeed,
Christ is now the Church's Head;
Loud the song of triumph raise,
Celebrate the Victor's praise.
