The Lord's risen indeed

by THOMAS KELLY, 1769-1854

The Lord's risen indeed
"It is true! The Lord has risen and has appeared to Simon" Luke 24:34
'The Lord's risen indeed':
Now is His work performed;
Now is the mighty captive freed,
And Death's strong castle stormed.
'The Lord's risen indeed'
The grave has lost his prey;
With Him risen the ransomed seed,
To reign in endlèss day.
The Lord's risen indeed':
He lives, to die no more;
He lives the sinner's cause to plead,
Whose cause and shame He bore.
Then, angels, tune your lyres,
And strike each cheerful chord;
Join, all ye bright celestial choirs,
To sing our risen Lord!
