1. Jubilate! Jubilate!
Christ the Lord is risen today!
Hear the mighty chorus swelling,
Over land and over sea!
River unto river calling,
Mountain peak to distant lea!

Refrain
Jubilate! Jubilate!
Christ the Lord is risen today!
Jubilate! Jubilate!
Christ the Lord is risen today!

2. Waken, roses, from your slumber!
Lilies, wake to greet your Lord!
Happy birds in wildwood arches,
Wake to sing in sweet accord!
Lift your voices, O ye maples!
Sing aloud, ye stately pines! [Refrain]
