Christ is risen, our Lord and King

1Christ is risen, our Lord and King, Let the whole creation sing;
Raise your joys and triumphs high, Sing, ye heavens, let earth reply.

2Vain the stone, the watch, the seal, Christ the mighty, to conceal!
Death in vain forbids him rise, He hath opened paradise.

3Lead us, Lord, where thou hast led,— Thou, our Head; where thou, our Head?
Made like thee, we too rise; Ours the cross, the grave, the skies.
