Jesus Is Risen (Pease)

Jesus is ris­en! Lift up your glad voic­es!

Night’s drea­ry sha­dows are van­ished away;

Hark

at the tid­ings the wide earth re­joic­es!

Jesus is ris­en

is ris­en to­day!

Death’s ir­on bond­age His strong hands have brok­en;

Come

speaks the an­gel

be­hold where He lay!

Faithful the pro­mise His own lips have spok­en;

Jesus is ris­en

is ris­en to­day!

Fair by His op­en grave blos­soms the gar­den;

Life fol­lows death

bloom is born of de­cay

Song af­ter sor­row

and peace af­ter par­don:

Jesus is ris­en

is ris­en to­day!

Light dawns in dark­ness

and com­fort in sad­ness

Death shall no long­er our spir­its dis­may;

Tears turn to prais­es

and griefs change to glad­ness

Jesus is ris­en

is ris­en to­day!
