Awake, awake, O heart, and sing!
The Lord is ris’n to­day!
Behold a gleam of an­gel wings;
The stone is rolled away!
Awake, awake, O heart, and sing!
The gloom of death is o’er;
Bright an­gels haste the news to bring,
He lives for­ev­er­more!

Refrain

Awake from thy slum­ber,
Morn now is dawn­ing;
Jesus, the vic­tor,
Comes from the con­quered tomb.
O sing forth a wel­come,
Sing songs the sweet­est;
Jesus hath ris­en!
He lives for­ev­er­more!

No long­er death has cru­el sway;
A light sur­rounds the grave!
All hail the joy of East­er day;
The Lord is strong to save!
Awake, O heart, the morn is bright,
All doubt and fear is o’er!
The Lord is ris’n in pow­er and might,
He lives for­ev­er­more!

Refrain

Awake and hail with heart and voice
The mes­sage of these hours!
With all the wak­en­ing earth re­joice;
Be glad with birds and flow­ers.
Behold the joy­ous East­er day
That brings the news to earth
Of East­er morn­ing far away,
When life from death had birth.
