This is a delightful Easter hymn by the Australian team of the poet, James Phillip McAuley, and composer Richard Connelly.
I blogged this out of Together In Song, here, which meant they provided the chords. Since then it was published in CWB II 352.
While this hymnal is long out of print, Willow has kept McAuley and Connolly’s work available and the sheet music for this one is available from them.
I’ve redone my backing.
Refrain
By your kingly pow’r, O risen Lord,
All that Adam lost is now restored:
In your resurrection be adored.1 Sing the joyful Easter cry,
Sound it to the souls in prison,
Shout our triumph to the sky:
Sing Christ risen, sing Christ risen.2 Sing the joyful Easter cry,
Let all times and peoples listen:
Death has no more victory,
Sing Christ risen, sing Christ risen.3 Death has lost and life has won;
Ev’ry newborn soul we christen
Now becomes the Father’s son:
Sing Christ risen, sing Christ risen.
