Cântăre Christ is risen

Christ Is Risen

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the tomb so cold they laid him

Death its victim claimed.

Pow'rs of hell, they could not hold Him;

Back to life He came!



####Chorus:



[M] Christ is risen! [W] Christ is risen!

[M] Death has been conquer'd

[W] Death has been conquer'd

[M] Christ is risen! [W] Christ is risen!

[ALL] He shall reign for evermore.



Hell had spent its fury on Him,

Left Him crucified.

Yet, by blood, He boldly conquered,

Sin and death defied.



####



Now the fear of death is broken,

Love has won the crown.

Pris'ners of the darkness listen,

Walls are tumbling down.



####



Raised from death to heaven ascending,

Love's exalted King.

Let His song of joy, unending,

Through the nations ring!
