Shout! Shout for Joy

Shout! Shout for joy

and sing aloud with glad­ness!

Lo! In the east the star of hope ap­pears;

Jesus has ris­en from the tomb tri­umph­ant

Vanquished is death thro’ all the com­ing years.

Shout! Shout! Shout! Shout!

Shout for joy

and sing aloud with glad­ness

Vanquished is death thro’ all the com­ing years.

Not with des­pair

we view the grave’s cold por­tals

Jesus has robbed it of the dark­some gloom;

Only the pas­sage­way from earth to Heav­en

Bright with God’s light

is the once dread­ed tomb.

We

too

shall rise from glo­ry un­to glo­ry

Free from earth’s fet­ters

clad with right­eous­ness;

Shout! Shout for joy

ye an­gels

join the chor­us;

He lives! The Christ

for­ev­er­more to bless.
