Christ the Lord Is Risen Agai1 { Christ the Lord Is Risen Again INNOCENTS-Thibaut IV? WIRTEMBURG-Hundert Geistliche Arien, Dresden, 169 4 Christ the Lord Is Risen Again } Christ the Lord is risen again; Christ hath broken every chain; Hark! Angelic voices cry, Singing evermore on high, Alleluia! He, Who gave for us His life, Who for us endured the strife Is our Paschal Lamb to-day; We too sing for joy, and say Alleluia! He, Who bore all pain and loss Comfortless upon the Cross, Lives in glory now on high, Pleads for us, and hears our cry; Alleluia! He, Who slumber'd in the grave, Is exalted now to save; Now through Christendom it rings That the Lamb is King of kings. Alleluia! Now He bids us tell abroad How the lost may be restored, How the penitent forgiven, How we too may enter Heav'n. Alleluia! Thou, our Paschal Lamb indeed, Christ, Thy ransom'd people feed: Take our sins and guilt away, Let us sing by night and day Alleluia!
