About this Hymn
The oldest liturgy in Christianity is the "Paschal Greeting," where we respond to "Christ is Risen" with "He is risen indeed." This a wonderful liturgy for your Easter morning greetings whether with friends and family or at church. It joins us with Christians all over the world and throughout history as we align ourselves with the most decisive moment in history.
Lyrics
Verse 1
How can it be the One who died has borne our sin through sacrifice to conquer ev'ry sting of death? Sing, sing hallelujah!
Verse 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 is risen indeed! Oh, sing hallelujah! Join the chorus, sing with the redeemed: "Christ is risen, he is risen indeed!"
Verse 3
Where doubt and darkness once had been they saw him and their hearts believed; but blest are those who have not seen, yet sing hallelujah!
Verse 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!
Verse 5
The pow'r that raised him from the grave now works in us to pow'rfully save; he frees our hearts to live his grace: go, tell of his goodness!
Coda
He's alive! He's alive! Heaven's gates are opened wide! He's alive! He's alive! Now in heaven glorified!
