The Lord is risen! the Lord is risen!
Angels the news proclaim,
And earth’s ten thousand voices join
To swell the glad acclaim.
Refrain
He is risen! He is risen!
Victorious, all glorious
Over death, hell and the grave,
A Conqu’ror mighty to save.
The Lord is risen! He lives again;
The stone is rolled away;
Look and behold the empty grave,
Where late your Savior lay.
Refrain
He rent the low, dark sepulcher,
Unlocked His prison cell,
And rose, triumphant from the grave,
Conqu’ror of death and hell.
Refrain
Rejoice, rejoice, ye sorrowing ones,
Whose friends in Jesus sleep!
He shall unlock their prison doors,
For He the keys doth keep.
