Lift up, lift up your voices now! The whole wide world rejoices now; The Lord has triumphed gloriously, The Lord shall reign victoriously. In vain with stone the cave they barred; In vain the watch kept ward and guard; Majestic from the spoilèd tomb, In pomp of triumph Christ is come. 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. 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. Thy flock, from sin and death set free, Glad alleluias raise to Thee; And ever with the heavenly host Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. |
