Christ the Lord is risen today (Wesley) 
Christ the Lord is risen today; (Alleluia!) sons of men and angels say: (Alleluia!) raise your joys and triumphs high; (Alleluia!) sing, ye heavens; thou earth, reply: (Alleluia!) 
Love's redeeming work is done, (Alleluia!) fought the fight, the battle won; (Alleluia!) vain the stone, the watch, the seal; (Alleluia!) Christ hath burst the gates of hell: (Alleluia!) 
Vain the stone, the watch, the seal; (Alleluia!) Christ hath burst the gates of hell: (Alleluia!) death in vain forbids his rise; (Alleluia!) Christ hath opened paradise. (Alleluia!) 
Lives again our glorious king; (Alleluia!) Where, O death, is now thy sting? (Alleluia!) Once he died our souls to save (Alleluia!) where's thy victory, boasting grave? (Alleluia!) 
Soar we now where Christ hath led, (Alleluia!) following our exalted head; (Alleluia!) made like him, like him we rise; (Alleluia!) ours the cross, the grave, the skies: (Alleluia!) 
King of glory! Soul of bliss! (Alleluia!) Everlasting life is this, (Alleluia!) thee to know, thy power to prove, (Alleluia!) thus to sing, and thus to love: (Alleluia!) 
Hail the Lord of earth and heaven! (Alleluia!) Praise to thee by both be given: (Alleluia!) thee we greet triumphant now, (Alleluia!) hail, the resurrection thou! (Alleluia!)
