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.
