LyicsYes, the Redeemer rose:
The Savior left the dead,
And o'er his hellish foes
High raised his conquering head:
In the wild dismay, the guards around
Fall to the groud, 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 today!
You mortals, catch the sound,
Redeemed by him from hell,
And send the echo round
The globe on which you dwell:
Transported cry, Jesus who bled
Has left the dead, no more to die!
All hail! triumphant Lord,
Who saved by thy blood:
Wide be thy name adored,
Thou reigning Son of God!
With thee we rise, with thee we reign,
And kingdoms gain behond the skies.
