1. “Christ the Lord is ris’n 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. Love’s redeeming work is done; Alleluia!
fought the fight, the battle won; Alleluia!
lo, the sun’s eclipse is o’er; Alleluia!
lo, he sheds his blood no more. Alleluia!
3. Vain the stone, the watch, the seal; Alleluia!
Christ hath burst the gates of hell; Alleluia!
death in vain forbids him rise; Alleluia!
Christ hath opened paradise. Alleluia!
4. Lives again our glorious King; Alleluia!
where, O death, is now thy sting? Alleluia!
Once he died, our souls to save; Alleluia!
where thy victory, O grave? Alleluia!
5. Soar we now where Christ hath led, Alleluia!
foll’wing our exalted Head; Alleluia!
made like him, like him we rise; Alleluia!
ours the cross, the grave, the skies. Alleluia!
6. Hail, the Lord of earth and heav’n! Alleluia!
Praise to thee by both be giv’n; Alleluia!
thee we greet triumphant now; Alleluia!
hail, the Resurrection, thou! Alleluia!

Updated Format! Beginning in November of 2016, we changed the way we formatted our PowerPoint files. The font is larger and the staff lines are bolder, making the songs easier to read from a greater distance, including smaller screens/monitors in the rear of the sanctuary.
All songs digitized previous to that date are in the "older" format.
