1 Tell the story of the Risen:
Joy from sorrow, peace from pain;
How the Master broke from prison,
Nevermore to die again.
Refrain:
Wakened is the heav’nly Sleeper:
Earth casts out her mighty dead;
Comforted each earthly weeper,
Lifted every mourner’s head.
2 Tell the story of the Living:
Life from death, from night the day;
This the manner of God’s giving;
So He deals with men, alway. [Refrain]
3 Tell the story of Passover;
Dry-shod through the deep, dark sea.
Christ, the Lord of all, and Lover,
Leads His hosts to victory. [Refrain]
4 Tell the story now of Easter,
Raise your voices high and sing;
Weeper, sleeper, faster, feaster,
Sursum Corda, Christ is King. [Refrain]
