Lyrics

Shout forth the tid­ings,
The Lord of light is ris’n to­day,
Shout forth the tid­ings,
For death hath lost his migh­ty sway.

Semi Chorus

Where, say where, oh death, where is thy sting?
And where, oh grave, say where,
Oh where is now thy vic­t­ory? (repeat)

Full Chorus

Jesus hath aris­en,
He hath burst His three days pri­son;
Praise Him, praise the Sav­ior,
Who hath con­quered death and hell.
Praise thou, praise the migh­ty God,
Let your prais­es ev­er loud­ly swell,
Praise on earth, and praise ye hea­ven­ly host,
Father, Son, and Ho­ly Ghost. (repeat)

Shout forth the tid­ings,
Proclaim the news o’er land and sea;
Shout forth the tid­ings,
For Christ hath won the vi­cto­ry.

Chorus
