African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal ‎#173

173. Lift Up, Lift Up Your Voices Now

1 Lift up, lift up your voices now!
The whole wide world rejoices now!
The Lord hath triumphed gloriously,
The Lord shall reign victoriously!

2 In vain with stone the cave they barred;
In vain the watch kept ward and guard;
Majestic from the spoiled tomb,
In pomp of triumph Christ is come.

3 And all He did, and all He bare,
He gives us as our own to share;
And hope, and joy, and peace begin,
For Christ has won, and man shall win.

4 O Victor, aid us in the fight,
And lead through death to realms of light;
We safely pass where Thou hast trod;
In Thee we die to rise to God.

Amen.
