“Saying, the Lord is risen indeed and hath appeared to Simon.” -Like 24:34.
1 ‘The Lord is risen indeed.’
Now is his work performed;
Now is the mighty captive freed,
And death’s strong castle stormed.
2 ‘The Lord is risen indeed.’
The grave has lost his prey;
With Him is risen the ransomed seed;
To reign in endless day.
3 ‘The Lord is risen indeed.’
He lives, to die no more;
He lives, the sinner’s cause to plead,
Whose curse and shame he bore.
4 ‘The Lord is risen indeed.’
Attending angels hear
Up to the courts of heaven with speed
The joyful tidings bear.
5 Then, angels, tune your lyres,
and strike each cheerful chord;
Join, all ye bright celestial choirs,
To sing our risen Lord!
