He Lives Again (Smith)

lyricist: M. A. Smith, 1885
Composer: Asa Hull

Come

let us with unit­ed voice

Join in our East­er song;

The Lord is ris’n

let earth re­joice!

The joy­ful notes pro­long!

We’ll sing in loud and joy­ous strain

The Lord is ris’n

He lives again!

Heav’n ech­oes back the glad re­frain

The Lord is ris’n

He lives again!

Passed from the toil and ago­ny

Passed from the grave’s cold rest

Passed through the por­tals of the tomb

To God

His Fa­ther’s breast.

No long­er can the gloomy grave

Hold our re­deem­ing Lord

He con­quered death

and lives again

According to His Word.

For ev­er­more His ran­somed ones

Exultingly shall sing:

O grave

where is thy vic­to­ry?

And death

where is thy sting?
