Lift Your Glad Voices in Triumph on High

lyricist: Henry Ware, Jr., 1817
Composer: William Filby, 1861

Lift your glad voic­es in tri­umph on high

For Je­sus hath ris­en

and man can­not die!

Vain were the ter­rors that ga­thered around Him

And short the do­min­ion of death and the grave;

He burst from the fet­ters of dark­ness that bound Him

Resplendent in glo­ry to live and to save!

Loud was the chor­us of angels on high

The Sav­ior hath ris­en

and man shall not die!

Glory to God

in full an­thems of joy!

The be­ing He gave us death can­not de­stroy:

Sad were the life we must part with to­mor­row

If tears were our birth­right

and death were our end;

But Je­sus hath cheered the dark val­ley of sor­row

And bade us

im­mor­tal

to Heav­en as­cend:

Lift then your voic­es in tri­umph on high

For Je­sus hath ris­en

and man shall not die.
