christ the lord is risen today





























"christ the lord is risen today" is a christian hymn associated with easter. most of the stanzas were written by charles wesley, and the hymn appeared under the title "hymn for easter day" in "hymns and sacred poems" by charles and john wesley in 1739. the hymn eventually became well known for the "alleluia" sung as a melisma after each line, which was added by an unknown author, probably to fit the commonly used hymn tune of "easter hymn". it remains a traditional processional hymn on easter sunday.
