Down from their home on high,
Down thro’ the star­ry sky,
Angels des­cend­ing fly,
While the earth shak­eth;
Roll they the stone away
From where the Sav­ior lay—
Out into glo­ri­ous day
His way He tak­eth.

Refrain

Loud hal­le­lu­jahs! Loud hal­le­lu­jahs!
Our ris­en Sav­ior, to Thee we sing:
Hallelujah! Hal­le­lu­jah! Hal­le­lu­jah!

He from the grave is gone,
Treading the way alone;
Death now is ov­er­thrown
By His en­dea­vor!
Where is thy vic­to­ry
O Grave? and where shall be,
O Death, our fear of thee?
Vanished for­ev­er!

Refrain

Sing we Thy praise for aye,
Who washed our sins away;
Unto Thy name al­way
We shall be sing­ing:
Far down the tracts of time,
Shall ev­ery earth­ly clime
Join in the song sub­lime,
With prais­es ring­ing!
