Sing, Oh Sing

Sing

oh sing

ye child­ren

Sing ye joy­ful­ly;

Christ our Lord hath ris­en

From death’s cap­tiv­ity.

Risen is our Sav­ior

Christ

our Lord and king!

Therefore sing ye prais­es

Joyful hom­age bring.

Dark and sad the ev­en­ing

When His foes pre­vailed

When our mas­ter’s bo­dy

To the cross was nailed.

Evil foes had con­quered

Holiness was slain;

Satan then vic­tor­ious

Ruled the earth again.

Follow to the gar­den

to the roc­ky tomb

Where His friends had laid Him

In the deep­en­ing gloom;

Roman guards were sta­tioned

Fixed the Jew­ish seal

Lest

by night

the faith­ful

Should His bo­dy steal.

Vain were Ro­man sol­diers

Vain the Jew­ish seal

Christ hath burst the pri­son!

Christ hath con­quered hell!

Risen is our Sav­ior

Christ our Lord and king!

Therefore sing ye prais­es

Joyful hom­age bring.

Ever in the heav­ens

Reigneth Christ our king

And His might ex­tol­ling

We His prais­es sing.

Sing the won­drous story

Of the joy­ful hour

When the grave was con­quered

By His migh­ty pow­er.
