| Jesus Christ is risen today, Our triumphant holy day, Who did once upon the cross Suffer to redeem our loss. | | Hymns of praise then let us sing Unto Christ, our heavenly King, Who endured the cross and grave, Sinners to redeem and save. | | But the pains which he endured, Our salvation have procured; Now above the sky he's King, Where the angels ever sing. | | Sing we to our God above Praise eternal as his love; Praise him, all ye heavenly host, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. | |
