Lyrics

Come, let us with our Lord arise,
Our Lord, who made both earth and skies;
Who died to save the world He made,
And rose tri­umph­ant from the dead;
He rose, the Prince of life and peace,
And stamped the day for­ev­er His.

This is the day the Lord hath made,
That all may see His love dis­played,
May feel His re­sur­rect­ion’s pow­er,
And rise again to fall no more,
In per­fect right­eous­ness re­newed,
And filled with all the life of God.

Then let us ren­der Him His own,
With sol­emn pray­er ap­proach His throne,
With meek­ness hear the Gos­pel word,
With thanks His dy­ing love re­cord;
Our joy­ful hearts and voic­es raise,
And fill His courts with songs of praise.
