Christ Arisen, Alleluia

Crucified, dead and buried
From suffering had no escape
Others spared, yet he refused
Thus grace took human shape
Christ arisen, alleluia
Alleluia, risen indeed

Arrested, tried and convicted
Before the greatest earthly throne
Thrones and crowns he turned aside
And suffering, died alone
Christ arisen, alleluia
Alleluia, risen indeed

Stone cold tomb, stone rolled over
For two nights human hope did cease
With the bright clear third day's dawn
Came hope and life and peace
Christ arisen, alleluia
Alleluia, risen indeed

Mystery through the ages
That mortal mind can't comprehend
Christ has died, and Christ arose
And Christ will come again
Christ arisen, alleluia
Alleluia, risen indeed
