On thro’ the East­er sun­light,
Waving His ban­ner high,
Singing with joy­ful voic­es,
Je­sus can ne­ver die.
Bound in his chains for­ev­er
Now lies our con­quered foe;
On with a note of tri­umph,
God’s migh­ty pow’r to show.

Refrain

On with the cross, it is shin­ing clear and bright,
On till the lands afar see His bless­èd light;
Shout! let the song of tri­umph
O’er the wide world now ring;
Hail to the ris­en Sav­ior!
Christ, our migh­ty king.

Haste while the skies are glow­ing,
Tell of the Light of men,
Risen with life eter­nal,
Unto His own again;
Bursting the bonds of sad­ness,
Setting the cap­tive free,
Bringing to earth new glad­ness,
Life’s bless­èd ju­bi­lee.

Refrain

On with the cross of Je­sus,
Brighter than star or sun,
Waving His stand­ard o’er us,
Praising the ris­en One;
Follow His hal­lowed foot­steps,
Safe is the path He trod,
Leading from earth’s dark por­tals
Up to the throne of God.

Refrain
