Rejoice, Rejoice, He Rose

Rejoice

re­joice

ye sons of earth

re­joice

He rose

the Son of Man arose;

Death held Him in his icy chain

He burst the migh­ty links in twain

And rose

He rose

Im­ma­nu­el arose;

He rose

Im­ma­nu­el arose.

Rejoice

re­joice ye once doom­èd souls

re­joice

We rose

in Christ our Lord we rose;

Our hope so long in death had lain

But Christ o’er­threw the mon­ster’s reign

And rose

He rose

hu­man­ity arose;

He rose

hu­man­ity arose.

Rejoice

re­joice ye heirs of Heav’n

re­joice

He rose

the Son of God arose;

A ris­en band with Him He led

As up­ward thro’ the clouds He sped

And rose

He rose

to Heav’n ab­ove He rose

He rose

to Heav’n ab­ove He rose.
