Christ Hath Arisen

lyricist: Edward Washburn, 1862
Composer: Maude Werner

Christ hath aris­en!

Death is no more!

Lo! the white rob­èd ones

Sit by the door.

Dawn

gold­en morn­ing

Scatter the night!

Haste

ye dis­ci­ples glad

First with the light;

Dawn

gold­en morn­ing

Scatter the night!

Haste

ye dis­ci­ples glad

First with the light.

Break forth in sing­ing

O world new-born!

Chant the great East­er­tide

Christ’s ho­ly morn.

Chant Him

young sun­beams

Dancing in mirth.

Chant

all ye winds of God

Coursing the earth.

Chant Him

young sun­beams

Dancing in mirth.

Chant

all ye winds of God

Coursing the earth.

Chant Him

ye flow­ers

Fresh from the sod;

Chant Him

wild leap­ing streams

Praising your God.

Break from thy win­ter

Sad heart

and sing;

Bud with thy blos­soms fair

Christ is thy spring.

Break from thy win­ter

Sad heart

and sing;

Bud with thy blos­soms fair

Christ is thy spring.

Come where the Lord lay;

Past is the gloom;

See the full eye of day

Smile through the tomb.

Hark! an­gel voic­es

Fall from the skies:

Christ hath aris­en!

Glad heart

arise.

Hark! an­gel voic­es

Fall from the skies:

Christ hath aris­en!

Glad heart

arise.
