J. S. B. Monsell (69/413) -- Hymns and Spiritual Songs

J. S. B. Monsell CHRIST is risen! Hallelujah! Risen our victorious Head; Sing His praises; Hallelujah! Christ is risen from the dead. Gratefully our hearts adore Him, As His light once more appears; Bowing down in joy before Him, Rising up from griefs and tears. Christ is risen: Hallelujah! Risen our victorious Head; Sing His praises; Hallelujah! Christ is risen from the dead. 2 Christ is risen! all the sadness Of His earthly life is o’er; Through the open gates of gladness He returns to life once more; Death and hell before Him bending, He doth rise the Victor now, Angels on His steps attending, Glory round His wounded brow. 3 Christ is risen! henceforth never Death nor hell shall us enthral; We are Christ’s, in Him forever We have triumphed over all; All the doubting and dejection Of our trembling hearts have ceased, ’Tis His day of resurrection; Let us rise and keep the feast.
