98. Joyful Tidings

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.
Joyful tidings,
Joyful tidings;
Yes, the Lord has risen today.
Hallelujah, hallelujah, Amen,
Christ the Lord has risen 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.
Sing ye praises,
Sing ye praises,
Praises to the victor’s name.
Hallelujah, hallelujah, Amen,
Christ the Lord has risen today.

3 Jesus triumphs! countless legions
Come from heaven to meet the King;
Soon in yonder blessed regions
They shall join his praise to sing.
Songs eternal,
Songs eternal,
Shall thro' heaven's high arches ring.
Hallelujah, hallelujah, Amen,
Christ the Lord has risen today.
