Christ the Lord is Risen Today!

Happy Easter everyone!  This is my favorite Easter hymn of all time.  It talks about the many things that happened because of Christ's resurrection.  It is such a joyful hymn for the most joyful day of the year.  Let us all rejoice that though we may have troubles in this life, and the fight with sin is so hard sometimes, Christ died our souls to save, and He rose again from the grave. He has broken the curse of sin and it's power, and has given us something to rejoice in, no matter what our circumstances are like.  I hope you have a very happy Easter and I hope this hymn enhances your understanding and appreciation for what our Lord and Savior did.  He is risen!
