One of the great triumphal hymns of Christendom
composed by Charles Wesley in 1739,
celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ
with triumphant language drawn from biblical themes.
Hebrews 12:2; Psalm 22:23; Psalm 148:3;
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 hath procured, Alleluia!
Now above the sky He's king, Alleluia!
Where the angels ever sing, Alleluia!
