Worship Christ, the Risen King!

Rise, O Church, and lift your voices; Christ has conquered death and hell.
Sing as all the earth rejoices; Resurrection anthems swell.
Come and worship, come and worship, Worship Christ, the risen King!

See the tomb where death had laid Him; Empty now, its mouth declares:
"Death and I could not contain Him, for the throne of life He shares."
Come and worship, come and worship, Worship Christ, the risen King!

Hear the earth protest and tremble; See the stone removed with pow'r.
All hell's minions may assemble, But cannot withstand His hour.
He has conquered, He has conquered, Christ the Lord, the risen King!

Doubt may lift its head to murmur, Scoffers mock and sinners jeer;
But the truth proclaims a wonder Tho'tful hearts receive with cheer.
He is risen, He is risen; Now receive the risen King!

We acclaim Your life, O Jesus; Now we sing Your victory.
Sin and hell may seek to seize us, But Your conquest keeps us free.
Stand in triumph, stand in triumph; Worship Christ, the risen King!
