The Lord Is Risen

The Lord is risen: the Red Sea’s judgment flood Is passed in Him, who bought us with His blood. The Lord is risen: we stand beyond the doom Of all our sin, through Jesus’ empty tomb.
The Lord is risen: with Him we also rose, And in His grave see vanquished all our foes. The Lord is risen: beyond the judgment-land, In Him, in resurrection life we stand.
The Lord is risen: redeemed now to God, We tread the desert which His feet have trod. The Lord is risen: the sanctuary’s our place, Where now we dwell before the Father’s face.
The Lord is risen: the Lord is gone before, We long to see Him, and to sin no more. The Lord is risen: our triumph-shout shall be, “Thou hast prevailed. Thy people, Lord, are free.”—William P. Mackay (1839–1885)
