UMH #302 Christ the Lord is Risen Today

Christ the Lord is risen today,
Alleluia!
Earth and heaven in chorus say,
Alleluia!
Raise your joys and triumphs high,
Alleluia!
Sing, ye heavens, and earth reply,
Alleluia!

Love's redeeming work is done,
Alleluia!
Fought the fight, the battle won,
Alleluia!
Death in vain forbids him rise,
Alleluia!
Christ has opened paradise,
Alleluia!

Lives again our glorious King,
Alleluia!
Where, O death, is now thy sting?
Alleluia!
Once he died our souls to save,
Alleluia!
Where's thy victory, boasting grave?
Alleluia!

Soar we now where Christ has led,
Alleluia!
Following our exalted Head,
Alleluia!
Made like him, like him we rise,
Alleluia!
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies,
Alleluia!

Easter People By David Light ©1985

We are an Easter people,
and alleluia is our song!
We are an Easter people,
and alleluia, alleluia, alleluia is our song!

Today is the day so long foretold
in the books of the prophecies of old,
that a Savior who died would rise again
so that we who believe might rise with him!

We are an Easter people,
and alleluia is our song!
We are an Easter people,
and alleluia, alleluia, alleluia is our song!

Today he has come to shed his light
on a people who wandered in endless night.
Now together we live in him and raise
a joyful sacrifice of praise.

We are an Easter people,
and alleluia is our song!
We are an Easter people,
and alleluia, alleluia, alleluia is our song!

Today he has conquer’d death and sin,
and the powers of darkness cannot win
over any who give their lives to him!
Let us open our hearts and let Jesus in.

We are an Easter people,
and alleluia is our song!
We are an Easter people,
and alleluia, alleluia, alleluia is our song!

Today he has opened up our eyes.
In the morning, he said, the Son would rise!
May we know in the breaking of the bread
the one who is risen from the dead!

We are an Easter people,
and alleluia is our song!
We are an Easter people,
and alleluia, alleluia, alleluia is our song!

UMH #322 Up from the Grave He Arose

Low in the grave he lay,
Jesus my Savior,
waiting the coming day,
Jesus my Lord!

Up from the grave he arose,
with a mighty triumph o'er his foes;
he arose a victor
from the dark domain,
and he lives forever,
with his saints to reign.
He arose! He arose!
Hallelujah! Christ arose!

Vainly they watch his bed,
Jesus my Savior;
vainly they seal the dead,
Jesus my Lord!

Up from the grave he arose,
with a mighty triumph o'er his foes;
he arose a victor
from the dark domain,
and he lives forever,
with his saints to reign.
He arose! He arose!
Hallelujah! Christ arose!

Death cannot keep its prey,
Jesus my Savior;
he tore the bars away,
Jesus my Lord!

Up from the grave he arose,
with a mighty triumph o'er his foes;
he arose a victor
from the dark domain,
and he lives forever,
with his saints to reign.
He arose! He arose!
Hallelujah! Christ arose!
