high, The Saviour hath ris-en, and man shall not die. A-men.

2 Glory to God, in full anthems of joy;

The being He gave us death cannot destroy;

Sad were the life we must part with to-morrow,

If tears were our birthright, and death were our end;
But Jesus hath cheered the dark valley of sorrow,

And bade us, immortal, to heaven ascend:
Lift then your voices in triumph on high,

(J=88) I say to all men far and near, That He is ris'n again; That

He is with us now and here, And ev- er shall re- main.

A-men.

2 And what I say, let each this morn
Go tell it to his friend,

That soon in every place shall dawn
His kingdom without end.

3 Now first to souls who thus awake
Seems earth a fatherland:
A new and endless life they take
With rapture from His hand.

4 The fears of death and of the grave
Are whelmed beneath the sea,
And every heart, now light and brave,
May face the things to be.

5 The way of darkness that He trod
To heaven at last shall come,
And he who hearkens to His word,

Shall reach His Father's home. Amen.

3 Vain the stone, the watch, the seal, Alleluia!
Christ hath burst the gates of hell; Alleluia!
Death in vain forbids Him rise, Alleluia!
Christ hath opened Paradise. Alleluia!

4 Lives again our glorious King, Alleluia!
Where, O Death, is now thy sting? Alleluia!
Once He died our souls to save, Alleluia!
Where thy victory, boasting grave? Alleluia!

5 Soar we now where Christ hath led, Alleluia!
Following our exalted Head; Alleluia!
Made like Him, like Him we rise; Alleluia!
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies. Alleluia! Amen.

|(J=92)Christ the Lord is ris'n to day, Sons of men and angels say:

04 24

Raise your joys and tri-umphs high, Sing, ye heav'ns, and earth re-ply. A-men.

2 Love's redeeming work is done, Fought the fight, the victory won: Jesus' agony is o'er,

Darkness veils the earth no more.

3 Vain the stone, the watch, the seal,
Christ hath burst the gates of hell;
Death in vain forbids Him rise,
Christ hath opened Paradise.

4 Lives again our glorious King,

Where, O Death, is now thy sting?
Once He died our souls to save,
Where thy victory, boasting grave?

5 Soar we now where Christ hath led,
Following our exalted Head;

Made like Him, like Him we rise;
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies. Amen.

to the sons of men: They who first at Christ - mas,

2 In the dreadful desert, where the Lord was tried,
There the faithful Angels gathered at His side:

And when in the garden, grief and pain and care

Bowed Him down with anguish, they were with Him there.-Cho.

3 Yet the Christ they honor is the same Christ still,
Who, in light and darkness, did His Father's will:
And the tomb deserted shineth like the sky,
Since He passed out from it into victory.-Cho.

4 God has still His Angels, helping, at His word,
All his faithful children, like their faithful Lord;
Soothing them in sorrow, arming them in strife,
Opening wide the tomb-doors, leading into life.--Cho.

5 Father, send Thine Angels unto us, we pray;
Leave us not to wander, all along our way:
Let them guard and guide us, wheresoe'er we be,
Till our resurrection brings us home to Thee.-Cho.

Amen.

(J=84) Hark! ten thou-sand voic-es sound-ing, Far and wide thro'- out the sky;

24 5,4

'Tis the voice of joy a-bound-ing, Jesus lives no more to die. Amen.

2 Jesus lives, His conflict over,

Lives to claim His great reward;
Angels round the Victor hover,
Crowding to behold their Lord.

3 Yonder throne for Him erected
Now becomes the Victor's seat;
Lo, the Man on earth rejected,
Angels worship at His feet!

4 All the powers of heav'n adore Him,
All obey His sovereign word;
Day and night they cry before Him,
"Holy, Holy, Holy Lord!" Amen.
