Author: Theodore C. Pease Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10107 Meter: 11.10.11.10 First Line: "Jesus is risen!" Lift up your glad voices! Lyrics: 1 "Jesus is risen!" Lift up your glad voices!
Night’s dreary shadows are vanished away;
Hark, at the tidings the wide earth rejoices!
Jesus is risen, is risen today!
2 Death’s iron bondage His strong hands have broken;
"Come," speaks the angel, "behold where He lay!"
Faithful the promise His own lips have spoken;
Jesus is risen, is risen today!
3 Fair by His open grave blossoms the garden;
Life follows death, bloom is born of decay,
Song after sorrow, and peace after pardon:
"Jesus is risen, is risen today!"
3 Light dawns in darkness, and comfort in sadness,
Death shall no longer our spirits dismay;
Tears turn to praises, and griefs change to gladness,
"Jesus is risen, is risen today!" Languages: English Tune Title: EPIPHANY
Jesus Is Risen
