He Is Risen (Newell)

He is ris’n

our Lord is ris­en

Christ hath burst death’s bonds in twain

Left at dawn the rock-sealed pri­son

Jesus lives

who once was slain.

Death is swal­lowed up in vic­t’ry

Lo! the Lamb of Cal­va­ry—

Lives

with Heav’n and earth re­joic­ing

For He sets the cap­tive free.

He is ris’n

our Lord is ris’n

Sing a glad tri­umph­ant strain!

He is ris’n

our Lord is ris’n

Christ is ris’n! He lives again!

Now the Morn­ing Star in beau­ty

Shines up­on our on­ward way

Making light the path of du­ty

That our foot­steps ne’er shall stray.

He who van­quished death shall guide us

Gently lead us by the hand

Safely what­so­e’er be­tide us

Till we reach the bet­ter land.

Christ is ris’n! pro­claim the sto­ry

Till the wait­ing na­tions know

Jesus lives

the King of glo­ry!

Jesus lives

who loves us so.

That He suf­fered death to save us

Shed His blood for one and all

Sin can nev­er more en­slave us

If up­on His name we call.
