"He is risen; He is risen,

Here His empty tomb you see;

And He goeth as He told you

To the hills of Galilee."

Thus to loving, loyal women,

In the centuries agone,

Angel voices told the story

Of the resurrection morn.

He is risen! He is risen!

Years hand down the glad refrain;

Let the ages on to ages

Waft the tidings yet again.

He who near the Bethlehem manger

Lowly child of earth was born,

King of kings reigns all triumphant

Since the resurrection morn.

Christ is risen! Calvary's anguish

All a lost world's ransom paid;

Then, with tears, "the hope of Israel"

In the new-made tomb was laid.

Deep and dark the desolation

Falling with that night forlorn;

Radiant the dawn awakening

With the resurrection morn.

He has risen! By this token

We with Him shall rise again;

Faith shall vanquish doubt and terror,

Joy shall banish grief and pain.

No more fear of sin's temptation,

No more dread of hatred's scorn,

O the glory purchased for us

On the resurrection morn!

Christ is risen! Bow before Him,

To His courts an offering bring;

Suffering Lord and Lamb victorious,

Crown Him Conquerer, Priest and King.

Robe of light for robe of mocking,

Diadem for crown of thorn,

Wears He now, and in His likeness

Rise we, satisfied, immortal,

In the resurrection morn.
