Lyrics

He is ris­en—day of won­der,
Day when death it­self was slain!
Like a grand­ly swell­ing thun­der
Sounds the word, He lives again.

Refrain

Hallelujah! hal­le­lu­jah!
Praises to the Lamb we sing,
Hallelujah! hal­le­lu­jah!
Hail to our vic­to­ri­ous king!

See His roy­al ban­ner wa­ving,
On the blood­stained field of strife!
There, for hum­blest hearts that love Him,
Jesus bought eter­nal life.

Refrain

Blessèd Je­sus, liv­ing Sav­ior,
Thou art ris­en from the grave;
We are trust­ing in Thy fa­vor;
Thou art migh­ty now to save.
