Christ, the Lord, Is Risen Today (Crosby)

Refrain

Christ, the Lord, is risen today,
He is risen indeed;
Christ, the Lord, is risen today,
He is risen indeed.

“He captive led captivity,
He robbed the grave of victory,”
He broke the bars of death,
He broke the bars of death.

Refrain

Hallelujah, hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Amen.
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Amen.

Let every mourning soul rejoice,
And sing with one united voice;
The Savior rose today,
The Savior rose today.

Refrain

The great and glorious work is done,
Free grace to all thro’ Christ, the Son;
Hosanna to His Name,
Hosanna to His Name.

Refrain

Let all that fill the earth and sea
Break forth in tuneful melody,
And swell the mighty song,
And swell the mighty song.

Author: Fanny Crosby

Year: 1894

This is one of several Easter hymns written by Fanny Crosby (full name Frances Jane Crosby, 1820–1915). The lyrics and refrain structure match her known work published in the late 19th century; it is distinct from Charles Wesley's more famous 1739 hymn of the same title.
