The Lord Is Risen (Ray)

The Lord is ris’n! the emp­ty tomb

Proclaims that Je­sus lives again;

The Lord is ris’n! the chill­ing gloom

The Prince of Life could not re­tain.

Let all the earth

from sea to sea

In voice of sweet­est me­lo­dy

Make known the Sav­ior’s vic­to­ry

His won­drous pow’r pro­claim.

Let ev­ery tongue make haste and tell

His tri­umphs ov­er death and hell

And grate­ful­ly each an­them swell

And mag­ni­fy His name.

The Lord is ris’n! the Lord is King

He comes in tri­umph from the dead;

The Lord is ris’n! re­joice and sing

Captivity is cap­tive led

He rose a vic­tor o’er the grave

And proofs of sov­er­eign might He gave

And pledge of pow’r the lost to save

From death’s cap­tiv­ity.

By faith my heart to Him would cling

In hope my lips ex­ult­ant sing;

To Heav’n each trust­ing soul He’ll bring—

His glo­ry I shall see.
