By Your Kingly Power, O Risen Lord
A poem and hymn praising the risen Christ by James McAuley
By your kingly pow’r, O risen Lord,
All that Adam lost is now restored:
In your resurrection be adored.
Sing the joyful Easter cry,
Sound it to the souls in prison,
Shout our triumph to the sky:
Sing Christ risen, sing Christ risen.
By your kingly pow’r, O risen Lord,
All that Adam lost is now restored:
In your resurrection be adored.
Sing the joyful Easter cry,
Let all times and peoples listen:
Death has no more victory,
Sing Christ risen, sing Christ risen.
By your kingly pow’r, O risen Lord,
All that Adam lost is now restored:
In your resurrection be adored.
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.
