Christ Is Risen (Thompson)

Christ is ris­en

Christ is ris­en

He hath left the so­lemn grave;

Christ is ris­en

Christ is ris­en

For a dy­ing world to save;

Send the tid­ings round the world

Let it reach to ev­ery soul;

Now His ban­ner is un­furled

Spread the news from pole to pole.

Christ is ris­en

Christ is ris­en

Cheer thy heart and dry thy tears;

Christ is ris­en

Christ is ris­en

He will qui­et all thy fears;

Oh

ye mourn­ers

cease to mourn

Why should life be filled with sighs?

Christ has all thy sor­rows borne

Now He beck­ons to­ward the skies.

Christ is ris­en

Christ is ris­en

Sinner

come and join the song;

Christ is ris­en

Christ is ris­en

You may yet to Him be­long;

We’ll for­ev­er sing His praise

Join we now with one ac­cord

While we’ve breath the song to raise

Sing for Christ

our ris­en Lord.
