Christ is risen, our Lord and King,Let the whole creation sing;Raise your joys and triumphs high;Sing, ye heavens, let earth reply.

2

Vain the stone, the watch, the seal,Christ the mighty, to conceal;Death in vain forbids him rise,He hath opened paradise.

3

Lead us, Lord, where thou hast led,—Thou, our high, exalted Head;Made like thee, by thee we rise;Ours the cross, the grave, the skies.

About this hymn

As printed Words only. As printed: hymn number «342» (large) in the right column of p. 113, below hymn 341 («Thomas Scott.»), with the reference line «15, 531, 37.» in bold italic figures beside it (sing to the tune of hymn 15, 531 or 37). Three numbered stanzas of four lines, all lines at the same margin (no indentation), «Charles Wesley.» in italics at the end. The first word «CHRIST» is set in capitals and small capitals. The print sets a thin space before «;» («sing ;», «high ;», «conceal ;», «rise ;»); it is closed up here. Spelling, punctuation and capitals are the print's (the dash in «led,—» as printed). No meter is printed (the text is 7s, four lines).
