He Is Risen

Hymns, 61


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 conquer’d, man is free.Christ has won the victory.

2. Come with high and holy hymningChant 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.
