Christ is ris­en, all tri­um­phant—
He is ris­en from the tomb!
Angel voic­es, sweet­ly sing­ing,
Banish all our earth­ly gloom!
Join the glad song, all ye na­tions,
Of His great re­deem­ing love;
Calvary alone can save us:
Christ is smil­ing from above.

He has ris­en! He is plead­ing
For each poor and strug­gling one;
Blessèd day, we hail thy dawn­ing;
Hope shall gild thy ris­ing sun!
While on earth re­viled, re­ject­ed,
Gain He count­ed but as loss.
Hallelujah! He has ris­en,
And we bow be­fore the cross.

Let the glad songs, now as­cend­ing,
Sing our dear Re­deem­er’s name;
Christ has ris­en! Christ has ris­en!
All our hope is in the same;
Blessèd day that ban­ished dark­ness,
At the cross we bow in love,
Knowing that a ris­en Sav­ior
Smiles all sweet­ly from above.

Ring, glad bells, your loud­est an­thems,
Sounding joy o’er all the earth,
Crown the al­tars now with gar­lands,
Let us bow be­fore His worth!
Christ has ris­en! joy ex­cel­ling,
All our sor­rows flee away,
And our hearts with joy are beat­ing
On this bless­èd East­er day!
