1. 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, man is free;Christ has won the victory.
2. Come with high and holy hymning,Chant our Lord’s triumphant lay;Not one darksome cloud is dimmingYonder glorious morning ray,Breaking o’er the purple east,Symbol of our Easter feast.
3. 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 beamOn our longing eyes shall stream.
