Voices of Praise ‎#85

85. Rise, the risen Saviour saith!

1 Rise, the risen Saviour saith!
Rise to higher things;
Draw anew thy quicken'd breath,
Use Thy new made wings!

2 Broken down thy prison walls;
Sit no more forlorn;
Every chain and hindrance falls
On glad Easter Morn.

3 Therefore sing thy glad new song,
Live as children free;
Raise with voices loud and strong
Shouts of Jubilee!

Amen.
