He is ris’n, our Lord is ris­en,
Christ hath burst death’s bonds in twain,
Left at dawn the rock-sealed pri­son,
Jesus lives, who once was slain.
Death is swal­lowed up in vic­t’ry,
Lo! the Lamb of Cal­va­ry—
Lives, with Heav’n and earth re­joic­ing,
For He sets the cap­tive free.

Refrain

He is ris’n, our Lord is ris’n,
Sing a glad tri­um­phant strain!
He is ris’n, our Lord is ris’n,
Christ is ris’n! He lives again!

Now the Morn­ing Star in beau­ty
Shines upon our on­ward way,
Making light the path of du­ty,
That our foot­steps ne’er shall stray.
He who van­quished death shall guide us,
Gently lead us by the hand,
Safely what­so­e’er be­tide us,
Till we reach the bet­ter land.

Refrain

Christ is ris’n! pro­claim the sto­ry
Till the wait­ing na­tions know,
Jesus lives, the King of glo­ry!
Jesus lives, who loves us so.
That He suf­fered death to save us,
Shed His blood for one and all,
Sin can ne­ver more en­slave us,
If up­on His name we call.
