He Is Risen! – Hymnicity

He is Risen! — Hymnicity from Hymnicity on Vimeo.

The crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ together form the centerpiece of Christianity. The Apostle Paul reminds the believers in Corinth that at the center of the Gospel he preached are two truths—that Jesus Christ was crucified for sins and that he rose from the dead. Apart from his death for our sin, we continue to bear our guilt and face God’s wrath. Apart from his resurrection, we must conclude that Jesus is under God’s wrath, leaving us without a Savior and most to be pitied of all people.

Shortly after its initial publication, Joshua Otte recorded it on his project “Already But Not Yet,” which is graciously providing as a free download. (Please consider supporting Joshua by purchasing and downloading the entire album.)

Lyrics

O trumpet sound a vict’ry call!
And tongues proclaim good news for all:
He is risen! He is risen!
O! Let a thousand hymns break forth,
Proclaiming our Redeemer’s worth!
Give Him glory! Give Him glory!
He is risen! He is risen!
Hallelujah!

He who was slain on our behalf,
Suff’ring beneath His Father’s wrath:
He is risen! He is risen!
He who was hung upon the tree,
Rose from the tomb in victory!
Give Him glory! Give Him glory!
He is risen! He is risen!
Hallelujah!

O Christian, are you filled with gloom?
Then look inside the empty tomb!
He is risen! He is risen!
Here there is hope for ev’ry fear!
Here there is joy for ev’ry tear!
Give Him glory! Give Him glory!
He is risen! He is risen!
Hallelujah!

O! Let the nations sing the fame
Of Christ the Lamb who once was slain!
He is risen! He is risen!
Now we await the coming day,
When all those raised in Christ will say:
Give Him glory! Give Him glory!
He is risen! He is risen!
Hallelujah!

Praise Him who rules eternity!
Praise the incarnate deity!
He is risen! He is risen!
O! Praise the Lamb upon the throne
And glorify His name alone!
Give Him glory! Give Him glory!
He is risen! He is risen!
Hallelujah!
