The Lord Is Risen Indeed

Thomas Kelly • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 85:1

Verse 1

The Lord is risen indeed, And are the tidings true? Yes, we beheld the Savior bleed, And saw him living too.

Verse 2

The Lord is risen indeed, Then hell has lost his prey, With him is risen the ransom seed, To reign in endless day.

Verse 3

The Lord is risen indeed, Attending angels hear; Up to the courts of heaven with speed, The joyful tidings bear.

Verse 4

Then make your golden lyres, And strike each cheerful chord; Join all ye bright, celestial choirs, To sing our risen Lord.
