Christ the Lord Is Risen Today
MOZART-Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Christ, the Lord, Is Risen Today
}
Christ, the Lord, is risen today,
Our triumphant holy day:
He endured the cross and grave,
Sinners to redeem and save.
Lo! he rises, mighty King!
Where, O Death! is now thy sting?
Lo! he claims his native sky!
Grave! where is thy victory?
Sinners, see your ransomed paid,
Peace with God forever made:
With your risen Saviour rise;
Claim with him the purchased skies.
Christ, the Lord, is risen today,
Our triumphant holy day;
Loud the song of victory raise;
Shout the great Redeemer's praise.
