Tell It with a Shout

Tell it out with a shout

hal­le­lu­jah!

Jesus Christ has ris­en to­day!

Tell it out with a shout

hal­le­lu­jah!

Empty is the tomb for aye.

Sing aloud in joy­ful strain

Jesus lives! He lives again.

Sealèd was the tomb that bound Him;

It was emp­ty when they found Him;

For the icy bonds He sun­dered

While the an­gels looked and won­dered.

Risen Lord! we cry to Thee

From our fet­ters set us free.

Tell it out with a shout

hal­le­lu­jah!

He hath tri­umphed glo­ri­ous­ly

Tell it out with a shout

hal­le­lu­jah!

Conquered death and set me free.

Sing aloud in joy­ful strain

Jesus lives! He lives again.

Go and tell them He is ris­en

From the cold and icy pri­son;

That the cru­el bonds that bound Him

Nevermore again may wound Him:

That for them the Sav­ior pleads

With the Fa­ther in­ter­cedes.

Tell it out with a shout

hal­le­lu­jah!

Let it ring from shore to shore

Tell it out with a shout

hal­le­lu­jah!

Jesus lives for ev­er­more!

Sing aloud in joy­ful strain

Jesus ev­er­more shall reign!

Be the sto­ry oft re­peat­ed—

High in glo­ry He is seat­ed

Where the saints shall e’er ad­ore Him

Cast their fade­less crowns be­fore Him;

There

at last

may you and me

All His love and glo­ry see.
