Christ Is Risen, He Is Risen Indeed
1 How can it be the One who died
Has borne our sin through sacrifice
To conquer every sting of death?
Sing, sing "Hallelujah!"
 
2 For joy awakes as dawning light
When Christ's disciples lift their eyes.
Alive He stands, their Friend and King:
Christ, Christ He is risen!
 
Chorus
Christ is risen, He's risen indeed!
Oh sing "Hallelujah!"
Join the chorus sing with the redeemed:
Christ is risen, He's risen indeed!
 
3 Where doubt and darkness once had been,
They saw Him and their hearts believed;
But bless'd are those who have not seen,
Yet sing "Hallelujah!"
 
4 Once bound by fear, now bold in faith,
They preached the truth and pow'r of grace
And pouring out their lives they gained
Life, life everlasting.
 
5 The power that raised Him from the grave
Now works in us to powerfully save
He frees our hearts to live His grace
Go tell of His goodness.
Chorus
  
 
Christ Arose!
1 Low in the grave He lay--
Jesus, my Savior!
Waiting the coming day--
Jesus, my Lord!
Chorus:
Up from the grave He arose,
With a mighty triumph o'er His foes.
He arose a victor from the dark domain,
And He lives forever with His saints to reign.
He arose! He arose!
Hallelujah! Christ arose!
 
2 Vainly they watch His bed--
Jesus, my Savior!
Vainly they seal the dead--
Jesus, my Lord!
 
3 Death cannot keep his prey--
Jesus, my Savior!
He tore the bars away--
Jesus, my Lord!
 
 
I Know that My Redeemer Lives
1 I know that my Redeemer lives;
what comfort this sweet sentence gives!
He lives, He lives, who once was dead;
He lives, my everlasting Head.
 
2 He lives triumphant from the grave,
He lives eternally to save,
He lives all-glorious in the sky,
He lives exalted there on high.
 
3 He lives to bless me with His love,
He lives to plead for me above,
He lives my hungry soul to feed,
He lives to help in time of need.
 
4 He lives to grant me rich supply,
He lives to guide me with His eye,
He lives to comfort me when faint,
He live to hear my soul's complaint.
 
5 He lives to silence all my fears,
He lives to wipe away my tears,
He lives to calm my troubled heart,
He lives all blessings to impart.
 
6 He lives, my kind, wise, heav'nly Friend,
He lives and loves me to the end;
He lives, and while He lives, I'll sing;
He lives, my Prophet, Priest, and King.
 
7 He lives and grants me daily breath;
He lives and I shall conquer death;
He lives my mansion to prepare;
He lives to bring me safely there.
 
8 He lives, all glory to His name!
He lives, my Jesus, still the same.
Oh, the sweet joy this sentence gives,
"I know that my Redeemer lives!"

Christ the Lord Is Risen Today
1 Christ the Lord is risen today, Alleluia!
Sons of men and angels say: Alleluia!
Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia!
Sing, ye heav'ns, and earth, reply: Alleluia!
 
2 Lives again our glorious King, Alleluia!
Where, O death, is now thy sting? Alleluia!
Dying once He all doth save, Alleluia!
Where thy victory, O grave? Alleluia!
 
3 Love's redeeming work is done, Alleluia!
Fought the fight, the battle won, Alleluia!
Death in vain forbids Him rise, Alleluia!
Christ hath opened Paradise, Alleluia!
 
4 Soar we now where Christ has led, Alleluia!
Following our exalted Head, Alleluia!
Made like Him, like Him we rise, Alleluia!
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies, Alleluia!
