Hymn/Song Information

The Lord is risen indeed Now is his work performed




"The Lord is risen indeed ;"
Then justice asks no more;
Mercy and truth are now agreed,
Who stood opposed before.


"The Lord is risen indeed;"
Then is his work performed;
The mighty captive now is freed,
And death, our foe, disarmed.


"The Lord is risen indeed;"
Then hell has lost his prey:
With him is risen the ransomed seed,
To reign in endless day.


The Lord is risen indeed!
He lives, to die no more;
he lives, the sinner's cause to plead,
whose curse and shame he bore.


Then take your golden lyres,
and strike each cheerful chord;
join, all ye bright celestial choirs,
to sing our risen Lord.


"The Lord is risen indeed;"
Attending angels hear;
Up to the courts of heaven with speed
The joyful tidings bear.


Then wake your golden lyres,
And strike each cheerful chord;
Join, all ye bright, celestial choirs,
To sing our risen Lord.


---Alternative verses---


The Lord is risen indeed!
Now is his work performed;
now is the mighty captive freed,
and death's strong castle stormed.


"The Lord is risen indeed;"
The grave has lost his prey:
With him is risen the ransomed seed,
To reign in endless day.


Then take your golden lyres,
and strike each cheerful chord;
join, all the bright celestial choirs,
to sing our risen Lord.
