This hymn has a unique tune

 

 1  Christ is risen! Hallelujah!

    Risen our victorious Head;

    Sing His praises; Hallelujah!

    Christ is risen from the dead.

    Gratefully our hearts adore Him,

    As His light once more appears;

    Bowing down in joy before Him,

    Rising up from griefs and tears.

 

Christ is risen: Hallelujah!

Risen our victorious Head;

Sing His praises; Hallelujah!

Christ is risen from the dead.

 

 2  Christ is risen! All the sadness

    Of His earthly life is o'er;

    Through the open gates of gladness

    He returns to life once more;

    Death and hell before Him bending,

    He doth rise the Victor now,

    Angels on His steps attending,

    Glory round His wounded brow.

 

Christ is risen: Hallelujah!

Risen our victorious Head;

Sing His praises; Hallelujah!

Christ is risen from the dead.

 

 3  Christ is risen! Henceforth never

    Death nor hell shall us enthrall;

    We are Christ's, in Him forever

    We have triumphed over all;

    All the doubting and dejection

    Of our trembling hearts have ceased,

    'Tis His day of resurrection;

    Let us rise and keep the feast.

 

Christ is risen: Hallelujah!

Risen our victorious Head;

Sing His praises; Hallelujah!

Christ is risen from the dead.
