179. Shout! Shout for Joy

1 Shout! Shout for joy, and sing aloud with gladness!
Lo! In the east the star of hope appears;
Jesus has risen from the tomb triumphant,
Vanquished is death thro’ all the coming years.

Refrain:
Shout! Shout! Shout! Shout!
Shout for joy, and sing aloud with gladness,
Vanquished is death thro’ all the coming years.

2 Not with despair, we view the grave’s cold portals,
Jesus has robbed it of the darksome gloom;
Only the passageway from earth to heaven,
Bright with God’s light, is the once dreaded tomb. [Refrain]

3 We too shall rise from glory unto glory,
Free from earth’s fetters, clad with righteousness;
Shout! Shout for joy, ye angels, join the chorus;
He lives! The Christ, forevermore to bless. [Refrain]
