Christ the Lord is risen again by Edward Vine Hall — Lyrics
Christ the Lord is risen again;
Christ hath broken every chain;
Hark! Angelic voices cry,
Singing evermore on high,
Alleluia!
He, Who bore all pain and loss
Comfortless upon the cross,
Lives in glory now on high,
Pleads for us, and hears our cry;
Alleluia!
He Who slumbered in the grave,
Is exalted now to save;
Now through Christendom it rings

About Christ the Lord is risen again
Edward Vine Hall composed this stirring anthem for SATB choir. The English text celebrates the central Christian event of the Resurrection. The lyrics, opening with the triumphant cry of "Christ the Lord is risen again!", describe Christ's victory over death and sin, his ascension and intercession for humanity. The music reflects the joy and exultation of Easter, proclaiming "Alleluia!" as the refrain throughout. This piece would serve as a powerful addition to any Easter celebration or general worship service, emphasizing the hope and salvation offered through Christ's sacrifice and resurrection.
