The Lord Is Risen Indeed (Turner)

lyricist: Fronie Turner, 1884
Composer: William Kirkpatrick

O day of re­sur­rect­ion

Most ho­ly

fair and bright!

That from the night of sor­row

Sprang forth with liv­ing light.

We hail thy ho­ly dawn­ing

With songs of joy once more

And tell the won­drous tid­ings

In glad­ness o’er and o’er!

The Lord is ris’n in­deed!

And glo­ry crowns the King!

The Lord is ris’n in­deed

The joy­ful tid­ings ring!

Rejoice

re­joice

re­joice

re­joice!

O earth

ex­ult­ant sing!

Bring frag­rant buds and blos­soms

And East­er li­lies fair

To fill the ho­ly tem­ple

With in­cense pure and rare!

The flow­ers of re­sur­rect­ion

Make sweet and fair the spring

And sac­red in­spi­rat­ion

From their cre­ator bring!

O bless­èd Lord tri­umph­ant

No sor­row crowns Thee now

But ma­jes­ty eter­nal

Adorns Thy ho­ly brow!

The work of love is fin­ished

The sac­ri­fice is done!

All hail

O ris­en Sav­ior

The vic­to­ry is won!
