LyicsSOLO.
"THE Lord is risen indeed."
SEMI-CHORUS.
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!"
Attending angels hear;
Up to the courts of heaven, with speed,
The joyful tidings bear.
1ST CHORUS.
Then wake your golden lyres,
And strike each cheerful chord;
Join all you bright, celestial choirs
To sing our risen Lord.
2ND CHORUS.
Blessing to God on high we give!
And everlasting praise!
Holy art thou in all thy works,
And just in all thy ways.
