Text: | He is risen! He is risen! |
Author: | C. F. Alexander |
1 He is risen! He is risen!
Tell it with a joyful voice;
He has burst His three days' prison,
Let the whole wide earth rejoice:
Death is conquered, man is free,
Christ has won the victory.
2 Tell it to the sinners, weeping
Over deeds in darkness done;
Weary fast and vigil keeping,
Brightly breaks their Easter sun;
Blood can wash all sins away,
Christ has conquered hell today.
3 Come, with high and holy gladness,
Chant our Lord's triumphant lay;
Not one touch of twilight sadness
Dims His Resurrection Day;
Brightly dawns the radiant East,
Brighter far our Easter Feast.
4 He is risen! He is risen!
Opened the eternal gate;
We are free from sin's dark prison,
Risen to a holier state;
Soon a brighter Easter beam
On our longing eyes shall stream.
