Clap hands, O ye hea­vens,
Thou fir­ma­ment ring!
From high­est to low­est,
Thou uni­verse sing!
The dark­ness and tu­mult
Have end­ed in calm;
And glo­ry has come,
And vic­to­ry’s palm.

Refrain

Clap your hands, all ye mount­ains!
Ye val­leys, all ring!
O war­ble, ye fount­ains,
Ye lit­tle hills, sing!
He liv­eth again, as tru­ly He said.
Unconquered, un­harmed,
He has come from the dead.

Come forth, O ye flow­ers,
Come forth with the Spring!
And deck the fair plains with
Each blos­som­ing thing.
With vio­lets hum­ble
Let ros­es be joined,
And ma­ri­golds bright,
With li­lies com­bined.

Refrain

Thou song of re­joic­ing,
Rise high­er and high­er,
Thou spir­it of glad­ness,
Breathe forth from the lyre.
For Je­sus is ris­en,
As tru­ly He said,
Unconquered, un­harmed,
He’s come from the dead.
