Christ Has Arisen

Easter dawns in glad­ness

On a world from death re­deemed

The ra­di­ant sun of glo­ry

Over the night has streamed

Death is tram­pled down­ward now

Where death tri­umph­ant seemed

For Christ our Lord has aris­en.

Rejoice

re­joice

The Lord is ris’n in­deed!

Go forth

go forth

And bear the news with speed.

Go tell the ran­somed cap­tives

Now from death set free

That Christ our Lord has aris­en.

Lo! His cha­ri­ots glo­ri­ous now

Across the sky have rolled

Look! look

the mars­haled an­gels

Flood all the dark with gold;

Hark the joy bells chim­ing out

Where late the fun­er­al tolled

For Christ our Lord has aris­en.

Mourners

cease your weep­ing now

And rest up­on His Word

For all in Je­sus sleep­ing

shall

Come with Him re­stored;

With Him all your trea­sure keep­ing

Labor for our Lord

For Christ our Lord has aris­en.
