1 Jesus, our Savior, we welcome Thy rising!
Welcome Thy rising from death and the grave!
Hail to the Victor o’er sin and o’er sorrow,
Hail to the Prince who is mighty to save!
Jesus is risen! Jesus is risen!
Hail to the Prince who is mighty to save!

2 Seek we with Mary, the tomb in the garden?
Angels may show us the place where He lay.
Empty the sepulcher! folded the grave-clothes!
Jesus arose ere the dawning of day!
Jesus is risen! Jesus is risen!
Jesus arose ere the dawning of day!

3 Yet He is near, if we turn when He speaketh,
Calling our names, till we know it is He.
Hands might not touch Him until He ascended—
Master, Rabboni! our hearts cling to Thee!
Jesus is risen! Jesus is risen!
Master, Rabboni! our hearts cling to Thee!

4 Welcome to Him who was dead and who liveth!
Jesus, our Savior, alive evermore!
Bring we our treasures and spread them before Him!
Jesus our Savior, we love and adore!
Jesus is risen! Jesus is risen!
Jesus our Savior, we love and adore!

In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries. Go to person page >
