Our Lord Christ Had Risen

by PLUNKET, 1828-97

Our Lord Christ Had Risen
"for since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man" I Cor. 15:21
Our Lord Christ had risen.
The tempter is foiled.
His legions are scattered.
His strongholds are spoiled.
O sing Hallelujah! O sing Hallelujah!
O sing Hallelujah! Be joyful and sing.
Our great foe is baffed Christ Jesus is kingl
O death, we defy thee!
A stronger than thou.
Hath entered thy palace;
We fear thee not now!
O sin, thou art vanquished,
Thy long reign is o'er,
Though still thou dost vex us,
We dread thee no more.
Our Lord Christ hath risen!
Day breaketh at last;
The long night of weeping.
Is now well-nigh past.
