The Glad Refrain for the Sunday School ‎#86

86. He is Risen Today

1 Come, ye saints! look here and wonder;
See the place where Jesus lay;
He has burst His bands asunder;
He has borne our sins away:
He is ris’n today! He is ris’n today!
Yes, the Lord is ris’n today!
Joyful tidings, joyful tidings!
Yes, the Lord has ris’n today!

2 Jesus triumphs! sing ye praises;
By His death He overcame;
Thus the Lord His glory raises,
Thus He fills His foes with shame:
He is ris’n today! He is ris’n today!
Yes, the Lord is ris’n today!
Sing ye praises! sing ye praises!
Praises to the Victor’s Name.

3 Jesus triumphs! countless legions
Come from heaven to meet their King;
Soon, in yonder blessed regions,
They shall join His praise to sing:
He is ris’n today! He is ris’n today!
Yes, the Lord is ris’n today!
Songs eternal, songs eternal!
Shall thro’ Heav’n’s high arches ring.
