Author: John M. Neale, 1818-1866 Appears in 119 hymnals Topics: Ascension and Reign First Line: Lift up, lift up your voices now! Lyrics: 1 Lift up, lift up your voices now!
The whole wide world rejoices now;
The Lord hath triumphed gloriously,
The Lord shall reign victoriously.
2 In vain with stone the cave they barred;
In vain the watch kept ward and guard;
Majestic from the spoiled tomb,
In pomp of triumph Christ is come.
3 And all He did, and all He bare,
He gives us as our own to share;
And hope, and joy, and peace begin,
For Christ has won, and man shall win.
4 O Victor, aid us in the fight,
And lead through death to realms of light;
We safely pass where Thou hast trod;
In Thee we die to rise to God.
Amen. Used With Tune: WALTHAM (Doane)
