Lyrics

Christ hath ris­en! Hal­le­lu­jah!
Blessèd morn of life and light!
Lo, the grave is rent asun­der,
Death is con­quered through His might.

Refrain

Christ is ris­en! Hal­le­lu­jah!
Gladness fills the world to­day;
From the tomb that could not hold Him,
See, the stone is rolled away!

Christ hath ris­en! Hal­le­lu­jah!
Friends of Je­sus, dry your tears;
Through the veil of gloom and dark­ness,
Lo, the Son of God ap­pears!

Refrain

Christ hath ris­en! Hal­le­lu­jah!
He hath ris­en, as He said;
He is now the King of glo­ry,
And our great ex­alt­ed Head.
