HYMN LXXIX. The Resurrection of CHRIST

Christ our Lord is ris'n To-day, halle, hallelujah, Our triumphant holy way, halle, hallelujah, Who so lately on the Cross, halle, hallelujah, Suffer'd to redeem our Loss, halle, hallelujah.

In our Paschal Joys and Feasts, halle, &c. Let the Lord of Life be bless'd, Let the holy Three be prais'd, And thankful Hearts to Heav'n be rais'd.

Christ our Lord is ris'n To-day, halle, &c. Christ our Life, our Light our Way; Th' Object of our Love and Faith, Who by dying conquer'd Death.

The holy Matrons early came halle, &c. To weep o'er their Saviour's Tomb: Two bright Angels did appear, Who said, Jesus is not here.

Where is he? O tell us where, halle, &c. His blest Residence declare? Jesus seek among the dead, Far from these dark Regions fled.

First the sacred Place behold, halle, &c. That did our blessed Lord infold; Bless our Eyes, O bless our Voice, In songs of Praises, we'll Rejoice.

Haste, ye Females from the sight; halle, &c. Make to Galilee your Flight; To the sad Disciples say, Jesus Christ is ris'n To-day.

Heralds of our Joys, to you, halle, &c. Grateful Thanks and Love is due: With Songs to God in Praises high, We'll together magnify.

The Cross is past, the Crown is won, &c. The Ransom's paid, and Death's sting's gone; Let us Feast, and sing and say, Jesus Christ is risen To-day.
