475. Lift Your Glad Voices

1 Lift your glad voices in triumph on high,
for Jesus has risen, and we cannot die.
Vain were the terrors that gathered around him,
and short the dominion of death and the grave;
he burst from the fetters of evil that bound him,
resplendent in glory, to live and to save.
Loud was the chorus of angels on high;
the Savior is risen, and we shall not die.

2 Glory to God in full anthems of joy!
The being he gave us death cannot destroy.
Sad were the life we must part with tomorrow
if tears were our birthright and death were our end;
but Jesus has cheered the dark valley of sorrow;
we'll rise from the dead and immortal ascend.
Lift then your voices in triumph on high,
for Jesus is risen, and we shall not die.
