16543. Rejoice! The Christ Is Risen

1 Rejoice! the Christ is ris­en,
Who died that we might live;
His pro­mis­es are faith­ful—
The err­ing He’ll for­give.

Refrain:
The East­er bells are ring­ing,
To wel­come this bright day,
And hap­py child­ren sing­ing,
Pour forth their glad­some lay.

2 Rejoice! the Lord vic­tor­ious
Has con­quered death and hell,
And now He reigns most glor­ious,
Our God Im­man­uel. [Refrain]

3 Rejoice! rej­oice! for­ev­er;
He doth our peace re­store;
His bless­ings are un­fail­ing,
His love is ev­er­more. [Refrain]
