Rejoice, He Is Risen!

The gold­en light is stream­ing

From smil­ing skies of blue;

From lof­ty hill and mount­ain rings

A mes­sage glad and true;

Awake to joy and glad­ness!

Lay all your grief aside;

He lives! the Lord of glo­ry lives

Who once for sin­ners died.

Rejoice

re­joice

He is ris­en!

New life to all He doth bring;

Rejoice

re­joice! He lives!

Our great vic­tor­ious king!

The blos­soms fair are bloom­ing

They fill the world with cheer;

The East­er bells are ring­ing out

In car­ols sweet and clear.

Creation’s hap­py voic­es

The won­drous tid­ings tell;

He comes

the King tri­umph­ant comes!

Let earth His prais­es swell.

The gold­en light is stream­ing

The dark­ness now is o’er;

Exalt the ris­en Sav­ior

for

He lives to die no more!

Swing wide

ye gates im­mor­tal

Ye ran­somed hosts pro­claim

Crown Him

the high and ho­ly One!

Adore His bless­èd name.
