Jesus Christ Is Risen Today

297 Jesus Christ Is Risen Today

1 Jesus Christ is ris'n today, alleluia!
   our triumphant holy day, alleluia!
   who did once, upon the cross, alleluia!
   suffer to redeem our loss, alleluia!

2 Hymns of praise then let us sing, alleluia!
   unto Christ, our heav'nly King, alleluia!
   who endured the cross and grave, alleluia!
   sinners to redeem and save, alleluia!

3 But the pains which He endured, alleluia!
   our salvation have procured; alleluia!
   now above the sky He's King, alleluia!
   where the angels ever sing: alleluia!

4 Jesus Christ is risen today, Alleluia!
   Our triumphant holy day, Alleluia!
   Who did once upon the cross, Alleluia!
   Suffer to redeem our loss. Alleluia!

<idle musing>
Cyberhymnal lists all these verse under "Christ the Lord Is Risen Today" and attributes them all to Wesley—and that's usually the way I've seen them.
