Risen! Jesus Christ has risen!
Shout the news with cheerful voice.
Sin’s dominion now is broken;
He has payed the ransom price.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Jesus Christ has ris’n again!
Risen! Jesus Christ has risen!
He has conquered death and sin.
Broke the chains of Hell’s strong power;
He abolished Satan’s reign.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Jesus Christ has ris’n again!
Risen! Jesus Christ has risen!
God’s just wrath has been appeased.
He accomplished full atonement;
With death’s price the Judge is pleased.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Jesus Christ has ris’n again!
Risen! Jesus Christ has risen!
None could hold Him in the grave.
His victorious flight in glory
Proved He has the pow’r to save.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Jesus Christ has ris’n again!
Risen! Jesus Christ has risen!
Sinners now may rise one day;
If they put their trust in Jesus,
He will wipe their guilt away.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Jesus Christ has ris’n again!
