Jesus Christ is risen today (Easter Hymn)

Jesus Christ is risen today, Alleluia!
our triumphant holy day, Alleluia!
who did once, upon the cross, Alleluia!
suffer to redeem our loss, Alleluia!

Hymns of praise then let us sing, Alleluia!
unto Christ, our heavenly King, Alleluia!
who endured the cross and grave, Alleluia!
sinners to redeem and save, Alleluia!

But the pains which he endured, Alleluia!
our salvation have procured, Alleluia!
now above the sky he’s King, Alleluia!
where the angels ever sing, Alleluia!

Sing we to our God above, Alleluia!
praise eternal as his love, Alleluia!
praise him, all ye heavenly host, Alleluia!
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Alleluia!

Only the fools say there is no God. This is the proof that there is he exists everywhere and in each of us if we allow him in.

Great congregational singing. Glad the choir and director encourage that because it sounds great.

I love when the whole congregation sings loudly with organ and choir. Wonderful job by all!

A triumph of organ playing, stately processionals and choral descants. Like the resurrected Saints entering heaven.
