173. Joyfully Swell the Strain

1 Joyfully, joyfully swell the strain
Echoing sweetly o’er hill and plain,
Streamlets are flowing, the sunbeams bright
Flood earth and sky with their golden light.

Refrain:
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Jesus lives
He lives no more to die!

2 Cheerily, cheerily wake and sing,
Hark to the message the joybells bring,
Jesus has risen no more to die,
With Him in glory we’ll reign on high. [Refrain]

3 Jubilant voices of Easter morn,
Tell the sad world of a hope new born,
Light from the tomb shines across our way,
Life is the guerdon Christ gives today. [Refrain]
