Composer: | Rusty Edwards (1955-) |
1 Lift your voice rejoicing, Mary --
Christ has risen from the tomb;
on the cross a suffering victim,
now as victor he is come.
Whom your tears in death were mourning,
welcome with your smiles returning.
Let your alleluias rise!
2 Raise your weary eyelids, Mary --
see him living evermore;
see his countenance so gracious,
see the wounds for you he bore.
All the glory of the morning
pales before those wounds redeeming.
Let your alleluias rise!
3 Life is yours for ever, Mary --
for your light is come once more
and the strength of death is broken;
now your songs of joy outpour.
Ended now the night of sorrow,
love has brought the blessed morrow.
Let your alleluias rise.
