1. ‘The Lord is risen indeed’; Now is His work performed; Now is the mighty Captive freed, And Death’s strong castle stormed. 2. ‘The Lord is risen indeed’; The grave has lost his prey; With Him is risen the ransomed seed, To reign in endless day. 3. ‘The Lord is risen indeed’; He lives to die no more; He lives, the sinner’s cause to plead, Whose curse and shame He bore. 4. Then, angels, tune your lyres, And strike each cheerful chord; Join, all ye bright celestial choirs To sing our risen Lord!
