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.
