The Risen Jesus

Softly the light of the beau­ti­ful morn­ing

Fell on the gar­den

all smil­ing with bloom

When

in the dawn

with­out trum­pet of warn­ing

Angels des­cend­ed to op­en the tomb.

Women of Ga­li­lee

fol­low­ers low­ly

Bringing their spic­es in to­ken of love

Seeking for Je­sus

the Mas­ter all ho­ly

Found the bright mes­sen­gers sent from ab­ove.

Hark! hark to the mes­sage

the glad East­er greet­ing

Jesus is ris­en! Re­mem­ber His word;

Tell it abroad

the good tid­ings re­peat­ing

Till the whole world the sweet sto­ry has heard.

Seek not the liv­ing at death’s gloomy por­tal

Jesus is ris­en

oh

be not afraid;

He is not here

said the an­gel im­mor­tal;

Come

see the place where the Sav­ior was laid.

Wonderful tid­ings! oh

mes­sage of glad­ness!

He who was dead liv­eth now in the skies.

Tell to all hearts that are mourn­ing in sad­ness

Jesus is ris­en; His child­ren shall rise.

Lo

in the midst of dis­ci­ples as­sem­bled

Showing the wounds in His hands and His feet

Tenderly

ten­der­ly

while they all trem­bled

Peace

peace be un­to you

hear Him re­peat.

Jesus

vic­tor­ious

God ev­er liv­ing

Savior of sin­ners

Thy prais­es we sing.

Hear us

we pray

in our joy­ful thanks­giv­ing

Risen Re­deem­er and con­quer­ing King.
