Lyrics

Christ who left His home in glo­ry,
And up­on the cross was slain,
Now is ris’n! Oh, tell the sto­ry,
That the Sav­ior lives again.

Refrain

Hail Him! Hail Him!
Tell the sto­ry!
Hail! all hail!
Jesus lives for­ev­er­more.

While the world in peace was sleep­ing,
Early on that East­er day,
Came the faith­ful wo­men weep­ing,
But the stone was rolled away.

Refrain

Christ, our lov­ing me­di­at­or,
Now with God for you and me
Intercedes, and our cre­at­or
Hears and an­swers ev­ery plea.
