Rejoice! the Christ is risÂen,
Who died that we might live;
His proÂmisÂes are faithÂful—
The errÂing He’ll forÂgive.
Refrain
The EastÂer bells are ringÂing,
To welÂcome this bright day,
And hapÂpy childÂren singÂing,
Pour forth their gladÂsome lay.
Rejoice! the Lord vicÂtorÂious
Has conÂquered death and hell,
And now He reigns most glorÂious,
Our God ImÂmanÂuel.
Refrain
Rejoice! rejÂoice! forÂevÂer;
He doth our peace reÂstore;
His blessÂings are unÂfailÂing,
His love is evÂerÂmore.
