The Helper in Sacred Song ‎#90

90. He Is Risen

1 He is risen, angels say,
By His open tomb today,
And the blessed truth they bear,
Shall our cheerful song declare.

Refrain:
He is risen, Angels cry!
He is risen, we reply!
Let the gracious message sound,
All the spacious earth around.

2 Christ is risen from the dead,
He hath robbed the grave of dread;
Death has lost its cruel sting,
Grateful hallelujahs sing. [Refrain]

3 “Christ is risen, do not fear,”
Angels speak those words of cheer,
Words with hope and joy replete,
Words our stirring strains repeat. [Refrain]
