LyicsYes, the Redeemer rose;
The Saviour left the dead,
And o'er his hellish foes
High raised his conquering head;
In wild dismay the guards around
Fall to the ground and sink away.
Lo! the angelic bands
In full assembly meet,
To wait his high commands,
And worship at his feet;
Joyful they come, and wing their way
From realms of day to Jesus' tomb.
Then back to heaven they fly,
The joyful news to bear;
Hark! as they soar on high,
What music fills the air!
Their anthems say, "Jesus who bled
Has left the dead-he rose to-day."
All hail! triumphant Lord,
Who saved us by thy blood;
Wide be thy name adored,
Thou reigning Son of God!
With thee we rise, with thee we reign,
And kingdoms gain beyond the skies.
