Christ the Lord is risen again by Anonymous — Lyrics
Christ the Lord is risen again,
Christ hath broken every chain.
Hark, angelic voices cry,
singing evermore on high, Alleluia.
He who gave for us his life,
who for us endured the strife,
is our paschal Lamb today;
we too sing for joy, and say 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 whose path no records tell,
who descended into hell,

About Christ the Lord is risen again
This stirring Easter hymn in English rejoices in Christ's resurrection. Sung by SATB choir, it is suitable for Eastertide services. The text powerfully proclaims Christ's victory over death and sin, referencing his sacrifice, his descent into hell, and his coronation in heaven. The repeated Alleluia refrain emphasizes the joyous exultation of believers celebrating the Paschal Lamb, now crowned King of kings. The composer is anonymous, but the hymn has become a staple for choirs seeking to express profound theological truths through vibrant choral sound.
