Jesus Christ has risen

1 Jesus Christ has risen,

The victor over sin:

heaven’s door is open

and we may enter in.

He came from God his Father

to set his people free,

dying as a ransom

for love of you and me.

2 Jesus has arisen,

and in his worthy name

we can be forgiven,

released from guilt and shame.

He rose from death triumphant

to sit at God's right hand;

there his prayers uphold us

and in his grace we stand.

3 Christ the Lord has risen

and death has lost its sting;

now, throughout his kingdom,

let alleluias ring!

So may we live to serve him

and make his gospel known:

peace from God, and mercy

are outs through Christ alone.

4 Jesus Christ has risen!

We’ll fear not, but look up:

God has sent his Spirit

to give us joy and hope;

our guide through doubts and setbacks,

who guarantees to bring

all who love and trust him

to reign with Christ the King!
