Joyful Lays ‎#60

60. Christ hath Risen

1 Joy! again the earth is waking,
Joy profound, joy profound;
From the golden portals breaking,
Hear the welcome sound.

Refrain:
Christ hath risen, wondrous story;
Christ hath risen, Prince of Glory;
Hallelujah! angels say,
From the dead He rose today;
Hallelujah! hallelujah!
From the dead He rose today.

2 On His Resurrection morning,
Grandly bright, grandly bright,
Floods of peace, the world adorning,
Bathe the soul in light. [Refrain]

3 Mortal tongues their songs are blending,
Songs of love, songs of love;
Shouts of praise the skies are rending,
Praise to God above. [Refrain]
