¶Lyrics / Text

1 Christ is risen! lift the song Of our Easter gladness; With the bright triumphant throng, Cast away all sadness. Springtide flowers tell us how We must leave the sighing, As we pass the sorrow now, Of our earthly dying. 2 Lo, the Maries in the gloom Weeping, bowed with sorrow, Little dreaming at the tomb What their joy tomorrow. Whom they sought—the Lord—they found Now no more in sadness; Where did woe and grief abound There He brought the gladness! 3 Lo, in all our sorrows here, Often deep repining, Through all doubt and darksome fear Easter sun is shining; Wherefore now on things above Set we our affection, Know the power of Jesus’ love By His resurrection. 4 Lo, the Apostles met in fear, That same sorrow bearing Till the master came to hear They his grief were sharing And thro' doors fast closed, once dead, He appear'd who ever Loved them to the end, He said And would leave them never. 5 Gladsome birds, fresh breezes tell With the sunny weather That dear creed we love so well "All things rise together." So the angels joyfully Taught the wondrous story, "Christ is ris’n! To Galilee," Go and preach His glory.
