He Is Risen (Richards)

He is ris­en! He is ris­en!

From the dark­ness of the tomb;

Cease thy strife

Oh! heart

and list­en;

Open wide and give Him room.

Lo! the migh­ty rock is ri­ven;

At the door the an­gels sing

Hallelujah! Hal­le­lu­jah!

Risen Lord and migh­ty King!

O my heart

be still and listen

Let my lips the glad news sing:

He is ris­en—He is ris­en!

Jesus

Sav­ior

Lord and King!

I am one with God

the Fa­ther!

Were the words di­vine­ly spoke.

Even lov­ing hearts were faith­less

’Till that East­er morn­ing broke;

Then what won­der

joy and rap­ture

Flooded ev­ery heart that morn;

Faith had rip­ened to frui­tion

From the grave rose hope

re­born.

Glory be to God the Fa­ther!

Glory be to Christ the Son!

Glory to the Ho­ly Spir­it

Now I know the vic­to­ry won!

On my heart the re­sur­rect­ion

Now I feel the touch di­vine

On my soul the glo­ry an­them

Christ is ris­en—Christ is mine!
