English poem

For Easter-Sunday

by (1722–1771)

Listen in the reader

Jesus Christ is risen to day, Hallelujah. Our triumphant Holy-Day; Who did once upon the Cross, Suffer to redeem our Loss.

Hymns of Praise then let us sing, Unto Christ our heav'nly King; Who endur'd the Cross and Grave, Sinners to redeem and save.

But the Pains which he endur'd, Our Salvation hath procur'd; Now above the Sky He's King, Where the Angels ever sing.

Hallelujah.
