10. ALEXANDER. HE IS RISEN, HE IS RISEN. With great spirit. W. R. BRAINE. 1. He is risen, He is ris- en! Tell it out with joy - ful voice, He has burst His three-days' pris-on, Let the whole wide earth re Death is con-quer'd, man is free, CHRIST has won the vic-to ry, 2 Come, ye sad and fearful-hearted, With glad smile and radiant brow, Lent's long shadows have departed, All His woes are over now; And the passion that He bore, Sin and pain can vex no more. And the passion that He bore, Sin and pain can vex no more. 3 Come, with high and holy hymning, Chant our LORD's triumphant lay, Not one darksome cloud is dimming Yonder glorious morning ray, Breaking o'er the purple East; Symbol of our Easter feast. Breaking o'er the purple East; Symbol of our Easter feast. 4 He is risen, He is risen! He hath opened heaven's gate; We are free from sin's dark prison, Risen to a holier state; And a brighter Easter beam, On our longing eyes shall stream. On our longing eyes shall stream. 11. AGAIN THE MORN OF GLADNESS. 1. Again the morn of gladness, The morn of light, is here; And earth itself looks fair - er, And heav'n it self more near. The bells, like an - gel voic es, Speak peace to ev'ry breast; + 2 Again, O loving Saviour, The children of Thy grace 3 The shining choir of angels That rest not day nor night, The crowned and palm-decked martyrs, In pastures fair above, 4 The Church on earth rejoices To join with these to-day; In every tongue and nation She calls her sons to pray: Across the northern snow-fields, Beneath the Indian palms, She makes the same "pure offering," 5 Tell out, sweet bells, His praises! |
