He Is Not Here, but Is Risen!

Oh

day of aw­ful sto­ry—

Jesus is dead!

Sad end to hope of glo­ry—

Jesus is dead!

Behold

the stone is rolled away!

And shin­ing ones have come to say:

He is not here

but is ris­en!

He is not here

but is ris­en

The night of death is past and gone—

Arise

and greet the glo­ri­ous morn!

He is not here

but is ris­en!

He is not here

but is ris­en!

A wea­ry night of weep­ing—

Jesus is dead!

A night that knew no sleep­ing—

Jesus is dead!

A day in sor­row dawn­ing—

Jesus is dead!

A sad and gloomy morn­ing—

Jesus is dead!
