Lyrics

O’er the east­ern sky rose tints faint­ly lie,
See the dawn is nigh, sha­dows flee;
Lo, in swift des­cent an­gel forms are bent,
All the seals are rent, Christ is free.

Refrain

Sing His tri­umph, tell the won­drous sto­ry;
Christ has ris’n, oh, tell it o’er and o’er;
Christ hath ris’n, the Lord of life and glo­ry,
And He lives for­ev­er­more.

All their watch­ful zeal, guard and stone and seal,
To us now re­veal Jesus’ pow­er;
Ere the morn awakes, all His bonds He breaks;
Life again He takes, bless­èd hour!

Refrain

Past the bit­ter night, with the dawn­ing light,
All the tomb is bright—sound His praise;
Christ all glo­ri­ous see, His the vic­to­ry,
To eter­ni­ty, end­less days.
