1 “He is risen!” cried the angel at the doorway,
When they found the empty tomb where he had lain,
He had rent the mighty bars of death asunder,
And in triumph rose forevermore to reign.

Refrain:
He rose, he rose,
He rose and blest the bed,
He rose, he rose,
Triumphant from the dead!

2 “He is risen!” now O grave where is thy vict’ry?
Death, so full of terrors, now where is thy sting?
Jesus spread a shining light within the valley,
Glory to his name, let men and angels sing! [Refrain]

3 “He is risen!” spread the news to ev’ry nation,
On the cross he suffered for the sons of men,
But he rose! he rose! my Savior, my Redeemer,
Shout the blessed tidings, Jesus lives again! [Refrain]
