Lyrics

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

Refrain

He is ris­en! He is ris­en!
See the place where Je­sus lay!

Angels her­ald joy­ous ti­dings:
Christ, the Lord, arose to­day!

Refrain

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

Refrain

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