Lyrics
And the angel said unto them: Fear not ye, for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here, for He is risen, as He said, He is risen, as He said. Angels, roll the rock away on this joyous
Easter day, See the Saviour quits the tomb, glowing with immortal bloom, Alleluia, alleluia, Christ the Lord is ris’n today. Alleluia, alleluia, Christ the Lord is ris’n today! When the Lord lay in the tomb, And
the earth was veiled in gloom, Choirs unseen by mortal eyes, Chanted softly in the skies, Alleluia, alleluia, Christ the Lord is ris’n today, Christ the Lord is ris’n today. Shout ye seraphs, angels raise Your
eternal song of praise, Alleluia, alleluia, Christ the Lord is ris’n today. Let the earth’s remotest bound Echo to the blissful sound, Alleluia, alleluia, Christ the Lord is ris’n today. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia,
Alleluia!
