Victorious from the tomb He hath His people freed. All hail! triumphant Lord, To Thee all power in earth and heaven, Jesu, to us impart Thy Resurrection power, And teach each quickened heart Thou art the life, our sins forgive: To God the risen Son, Father and Spirit blest, All worship be addressed; Join all on earth, rejoice and sing, All glory give to God our King. Amen. 'Tis the day of Resurrection- Earth, tell it out abroad! The passover of gladness, The passover of God; From death to life eternal, Our hearts be pure from evil, And listening to His accents Now let the heavens be joyful! Let the round world keep triumph, Invisible and visible Their notes let all things blend, Our joy that hath no end! Amen. AT the Lamb's high feast we sing Praise we Christ, Whose blood was shed. With sincerity and love Hell's fierce powers beneath Thee lie; And in Thee Thy saints shall rise. From sin's power do Thou set free ALLELUIA! ALLELUIA! ALLELUIA! Alleluia! The powers of death have done their worst, And Jesus hath His foes dispersed; Let shouts of praise and joy outburst. Alleluia! On that third morn He rose again O let us swell the joyful strain. Alleluia ! He closed the yawning gates of hell; Alleluia ! Lord, by the stripes which wounded Thee, From death's dread sting Thy servants free, That we may live, and sing to Thee. Alleluia! Amen. 99. 8-7, 8-7, 7-7. HARK, ten thousand harps and voices Well may angels bright and glorious Well may angels sing of Him, Come, ye saints, unite your praises King of glory, reign for ever, Thine an everlasting crown: Nothing from Thy love shall sever Those whom Thou hast made Thine own; Happy objects of Thy grace, Destined to behold Thy face. Amen. JESUS lives! no longer now Can thy terrors, Death, appal us; Jesus lives! by this we know Thou, O Grave, canst not enthral us. Alleluia! Jesus lives! henceforth is death But the gate of Life immortal; This shall calm our trembling breath, When we pass its gloomy portal. Alleluia! Jesus lives! for us He died: |
