Lyrics

Shout! Shout for joy, and sing aloud with glad­ness!
Lo! In the east the star of hope ap­pears;
Jesus has ris­en from the tomb tri­um­phant,
Vanquished is death thro’ all the com­ing years.

Refrain

Shout! Shout! Shout! Shout!
Shout for joy, and sing aloud with glad­ness,
Vanquished is death thro’ all the com­ing years.

Not with des­pair, we view the grave’s cold por­tals,
Jesus has robbed it of the dark­some gloom;
Only the pas­sage­way from earth to Hea­ven,
Bright with God’s light, is the once dread­ed tomb.

Refrain

We, too, shall rise from glo­ry unto glo­ry,
Free from earth’s fet­ters, clad with right­eous­ness;
Shout! Shout for joy, ye an­gels, join the cho­rus;
He lives! The Christ, for­ev­er­more to bless.
