Jesus Christ, the King of glory, now is risen from the dead. Amen.

2 Christ is risen, Christ the first-fruits of the holy harvest field,
Which will all its full abundance at His second coming yield;
Then the golden ears of harvest will their heads before Him wave,
Ripened by His glorious sunshine from the furrows of the grave.

3 Christ is risen, we are risen; shed upon us heavenly grace,
Rain, and dew, and gleams of glory from the brightness of Thy face;
That we, with our hearts in heaven, here on earth may fruitful be,
And by angel-hands be gathered, and be ever, Lord, with Thee.

4 Alleluia! Alleluia! glory be to God on high;

Alleluia to the Saviour, who has gained the victory;
Alleluia to the Spirit, fount of love and sanctity;
Alleluia! Alleluia! to the Triune Majesty. Amen.

28.

THE LORD IS RISEN.

Transylvanian Air.

1. The Lord is risen, risen in-deed; Now is

His work per- formed; Now

is the mighty Captive freed, And death's strong castle stormed.

2 The Lord is risen, risen indeed;
Then hell has lost his prey:

With Him is risen the ransomed seed
To reign in endless day.

Alleluia, alleluia, Christ is risen indeed,
Alleluia, alleluia, Christ is risen indeed.

3 The Lord is risen, risen indeed,
He lives to die no more;

He lives the sinner's cause to plead,
Whose curse and shame He bore.

Alleluia, alleluia, Christ is risen indeed,
Alleluia, alleluia, Christ is risen indeed.

4 The Lord is risen, risen indeed,
Attending angels, hear!

Up to the courts of heav'n with speed
The joyful tidings bear.

Alleluia, alleluia, Christ is risen indeed,
Alleluia, alleluia, Christ is risen indeed.

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

Alleluia, alleluia, Christ is risen indeed,
Alleluia, alleluia, Christ is risen indeed.
