Author: Anonymous; Elizabeth Rundle Charles, 1823-1896 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #814 (2010) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Lift your voice rejoicing, Mary,
Christ has risen from the tomb;
on the cross a suffering victim,
now as victor he is come.
Whom your tears in death were mourning,
welcome with your smiles returning.
Let your alleluias rise!
2 Raise your weary eyelids, Mary,
see him living evermore;
see his countenance, how gracious,
see the wounds for you he bore.
All the glory of the morning
pales before those wounds redeeming.
Let your alleluias rise!
3 Life is yours for ever, Mary,
for your light is come once more
and the strength of death is broken;
now your songs of joy outpour.
Ended now the night of sorrow,
love has brought the blessed morrow.
Let your alleluias rise. Topics: Saints' and Other Holy Days St. Mary Magdalene Languages: English Tune Title: FISK OF GLOUCESTER
Lift your voice rejoicing, Mary
