This is David Macgregor‘s joyous setting of Charles Wesley’s Easter text.
The sheet music is at his site.
Christ the Lord is risen today
Let the whole creation say
Raise your joys and triumphs high
Sing now, heaven, and earth replyHallelu, hallelujah
Hallelu, hallelujah
Hallelu, hallelujah
Hallelu, hallelujahLove’s redeeming work is done
Fought the fight, the battle won
Vain the stone, the watch, the seal
Christ has burst the gates of hell
Hallelu, hallelujah …Lives again our glorious King
Where O death is now your sting
Once he died our souls to save
Where’s your victory, O grave
Hallelu, hallelujah …Love’s redeeming work is done
Fought the fight the battle won
Death in vain forbids Him rise
Christ has opened paradise
Hallelu, hallelujah …Soar we now where Christ has led
Following our exalted Head
Made like Him, like Him we rise
Ours the cross, the grave ,the skies
Hallelu, hallelujahCharles Wesley
