Sing aloud, ye Chris­tian lands,
Songs of great­est tri­umph,
For your Lord has burst the bands—
Lives no more to die.
O sad the night the Lord lay dead;
All earth was steeped in sor­row;
But hail! He tri­umphed, as He said,
And rose to reign on high.

Refrain

Sing we loud the chor­us,
Sending praise be­fore us;
Jesus reign­eth o’er us;
King of kings is He.
O sad the night the Lord lay dead;
All earth was steeped in sor­row;
But hail! He tri­umphed, as He said,
And rose to reign on high.

Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!
Raise the migh­ty anthem;
Death is van­quished by His Word,
Christ has made us free.
The stone and seal, the guard at night,
Their watch in si­lence keep­ing,
Were all in vain, for in His might
The Sav­ior rose again.

Refrain

Praise the Lord! Ex­ult­ant King!
List! An­gel­ic voic­es,
As to earth the news they bring—
Immortality!
From out the tomb, in ma­jes­ty,
He came in ra­di­ant beau­ty,
And rose with heav’n­ly hosts to be
The King eter­nal­ly.
