Lyrics

See, the seal is rude­ly brok­en!
Lo! the stone is rolled away!
Kept is ev­ery sign and to­ken,
He is ris­en, an­gels say.

Lo, the tomb is stand­ing op­en
And the Ma­rys weep­ing near,
Angel tones with­in are spok­en,
He is ris­en, do not fear!

Hark! the joy­ful tid­ings ring­eth!
Christ hath tri­umphed o’er the grave!
Joy to all His fol­low­ers bring­eth,
Christ hath ris­en!—lives to save!
