God…raised Him up from the dead, and gave Him glory.
1 Peter 1:21
Words: Eliza E. Hewitt, 1909.
Music: T. Martin Towne (🔊 pdf nwc).
We greet the smiling Eastertide,
And sing the blessèd story,
The Lamb of God, the Crucified,
Is living now in glory.
Refrain
Living now in glory,
Living now in glory;
Tell it far and wide, that He who died
Is living now in glory.
He lives to take our sins away,
Our present mighty Savior;
To help us serve Him, every day,
And show His grace and favor.
Refrain
Then let us come, a joyful throng,
While all the birds are singing,
Glad measures of the new, new song
From happy voices ringing.
