LyicsYes, the Redeemer rose;
The Saviour left the dead,
And o'er his hellish foes
High raised his conqu'ring 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 heav'n 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!
You mortals, catch the sound,
Redeem'd 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 sav'd us by thy blood'
Wide be thy name ador'd,
Thou reigning Son of God!
With thee we rise,
And kingdoms gain
Beyond the skies.
