He is Risen!

He is risen, he is risen! Tell it out with joyful voice:

He has burst his three days’ prison; let the whole wide earth rejoice:

Death is conquered, we are free, Christ has won the victory.

 

Come ye sad and fearful-hearted, with glad smile and radiant brow!

Lent’s long shadows have departed; Jesus’ woes are over now,

And the passion that he bore–sin and pain can vex no more.

 

Come, with high and holy hymning, hail our Lord’s triumphant day;

Not one dark-some cloud is dimming yonder glorious morning ray,

Breaking o’er the purple east, symbol of our Easter feast.

 

He is risen, he is risen! He hath opened heaven’s gate:

We are free from sin’s dark prison, risen to a holier state;

And a brighter Easter beam on our longing eyes shall stream.
