This hymn has a unique tune

 

 1  Christ the Lord is ris'n indeed,

                Hallelujah!

    He has met His people's need,

                Hallelujah!

    Raise your joys and triumphs high,

                Hallelujah!

    Sing, ye heav'ns and earth, reply,

                Hallelujah!

 

 2  Lives again our glorious King,

                Hallelujah!

    Where, O Death, is now thy sting?

                Hallelujah!

    Dying once He all doth save,

                Hallelujah!

    Where thy victory, O grave?

                Hallelujah!

 

 3  Love's redeeming work is done,

                Hallelujah!

    Fought the fight, the battle won,

                Hallelujah!

    Death in vain forbade Him rise,

                Hallelujah!

    Christ ascended o'er the skies,

                Hallelujah!

 

 4  Soar we now where Christ hath led,

                Hallelujah!

    Following our exalted Head,

                Hallelujah!

    Made like Him, like Him we rise,

                Hallelujah!

    Free from all the earthly ties,

                Hallelujah!
