Classic Poem

He is risen! He is risen!
Tell it out with joyful voice,
He hath burst His three days' prison,
Let the whole wide world rejoice:
Death is conquer'd, man is free,
Christ hath won the victory.

Tell it to the sinners weeping
Over deeds of darkness done,
Weary fast, and vigil keeping, —
Brightly breaks their Easter sun:
The glad tidings to them tell
Christ hath conquer'd death and hell.

Come, ye sad and fearful-hearted,
With glad smile and radiant brow;
Lent's long shadows have departed,
All His woes are over now:
Jesus all our sorrows bore,
Sin and pain can vex no more.

Three in One! let all adore Thee,
Saints below, and saints above;
Every creature bow before Thee,
Living the glad life of love:
Death's dominion now is o'er,
Praise to Thee for evermore.
