Song Lyrics
-
1. He is risen! He is risen!
Tell it out with joyful voice.
He has burst his three days’ prison;
Let the whole wide earth rejoice.
Death is conquered; man is free.
Christ has won the victory.2. Come with high and holy hymning;
Chant our Lord’s triumphant lay.
Not one darksome cloud is dimming
Yonder glorious morning ray,
Breaking o’er the purple east,
Symbol of our Easter feast.3. He is risen! He is risen!
He hath opened heaven’s gate.
We are free from sin’s dark prison,
Risen to a holier state.
And a brighter Easter beam
On our longing eyes shall stream. -
Jesus climbed the hill to the Garden still; His steps were heavy and slow.
Love and a prayer took Him there to the place only He could go.[Chorus]
Gethsemane! Jesus loves me,
So He went willingly to Gethsemane.He felt all that was sad, wicked, or bad, all the pain we would ever know.
While His friends were asleep, He fought to keep His promise made long ago.[Chorus]
The hardest thing that ever was done,
The greatest pain that ever was known,
The biggest battle that ever was won—
This was done by Jesus!
The fight was won by Jesus!Gethsemane! Jesus loves me,
So He gave this gift to me in Gethsemane.Gethsemane! Jesus loves me,
So He gives this gift to me from Gethsemane. -
They heard a voice, a voice so mild.
It pierced them through and made their souls to quake.
They saw Him come, a man in white,
The Savior, who had suffered for their sake.
They felt the wounds in hands and side,
And each could testify: This is the Christ.[Chorus]
This is the Christ, the holy Son of God—
Our Savior, Lord, Redeemer of mankind.
This is the Christ, the Healer of our souls,
Who ransomed us with love divine.I read His words, the words He prayed
While bearing sorrow in Gethsemane.
I feel His love, the price He paid.
How many drops of blood were spilled for me?
With Saints of old in joyful cry
I too can testify: This is the Christ.[Chorus]
-
When darkness veiled the sky the day that Jesus died
In agony upon the bitter cross
They took His body down and laid it in a tomb
His friends believed that everything was lost.
But when the third day came, the darkness turned to light
For Mary heard her name and saw the living Christ.[Chorus]
Risen
To set the captives free
Risen
To ransom you and me
To bind up every broken heart
To conquer death and sin.
Risen
To bring us home again.And in that barren place the world forever changed
For hope was born when Jesus rose that day
And still His wounded hands reveal the love He has
For every fallen soul He came to save
And He will come again, and one by one we’ll rise
To praise His holy name and see the living Christ[Chorus]
Alleluia, He lives
Alleluia, He is Risen[Chorus]
Risen -
1. Christ the Lord is ris’n today, Alleluia!
Sons of men and angels say, Alleluia!
Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia!
Sing, ye heav’ns, and earth reply, Alleluia!2. Love’s redeeming work is done, Alleluia!
Fought the fight, the vict’ry won, Alleluia!
Jesus’ agony is o’er, Alleluia!
Darkness veils the earth no more, Alleluia!3. Lives again our glorious King, Alleluia!
Where, O death, is now thy sting? Alleluia!
Once he died our souls to save, Alleluia!
Where thy victory, O grave? Alleluia! -
Woman, why weepest thou?
Know ye not that angels now surround thee?
Woman why seekest thou the living among the dead?
He is not here! For He is risen!Woman why sorrowest thou?
Know ye not that heaven’s eyes are on thee?
Women, whom seekest thou?
He lives! The Redeemer lives!O child, why weepest thou?
Know ye not the Shepherd’s arms that hold thee?
O child, what seekest thou?
Be still, and know that I am God!
Be still, and know that I am God. -
1. Come, Thou Fount of ev’ry blessing;
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace.
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount; I’m fixed upon it:
Mount of Thy redeeming love.2. Here I raise my Ebenezer;
Hither by Thy help I’m come.
And I hope, by Thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wand’ring from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed His precious blood.3. Oh, to grace how great a debtor
Daily I’m constrained to be!
Let Thy goodness, like a fetter,
Bind my wand’ring heart to Thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love.
Here’s my heart, O take and seal it;
Seal it for Thy courts above. -
1. My Shepherd will supply my need;
Jehovah is His name.
In pastures fresh He makes me feed
Beside the living stream.
He brings my wand’ring spirit back
When I forsake His ways
And leads me for His mercy’s sake
In paths of truth and grace.2. When I walk through the shades of death,
Thy presence is my stay;
One word of Thy supporting breath
Drives all my fears away.
Thy hand, in sight of all my foes,
Doth still my table spread.
My cup with blessings overflows;
Thine oil anoints my head.
3. The sure provisions of my God
Attend me all my days.
O may Thy house be mine abode
And all my work be praise!
There would I find a settled rest
While others go and come—
No more a stranger nor a guest,
But like a child at home. -
Hallelujah
For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth
The kingdom of this world;
is become the kingdom of our Lord,
and of His Christ
And He shall reign forever and ever
King of kings and Lord of lords
And he shall reign forever and ever
Hallelujah -
The promise of ages whom prophets foretold
For whom we have waited ere long
Hath come to redeem us from slavery's yoke
And deliver His people back homeCome Israel, come and see He who shall reign
In whom we will ever rejoice
We hear the sound of the glorious refrain
And it echoeth back in our voiceHosanna, hosanna, thy Savior hath come
O Israel and blessed He'll ever be called
Hosanna, hosanna, sing praises to God
For our hope, our deliv'rer, our allOh, why should we wander as strangers from thee?
And turn from thy bounteous hand?
Restore and defend us, oh, set us free;
That beside thee, we ever may standHe looks and ten thousands of angels rejoice
And myriads wait for his word
He speaks and eternity, filled with His voice
Re-echoes the praise of her LordHosanna, hosanna thy Savior hath come
Our Hope! Our Salvation! Our All! -
Come weary one, leave thy labors
Come lift thy head, see thy Savior and Friend
His arms are opened wide
O soul, be satisfied.
Come find His rest.Take His yoke upon thee,
For He is gentle and lowly in heart
So learn from Christ the Lord –
Thy Portion and Reward.
Come find His rest.I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"Come unto me and rest;
Lay down, O weary one, lay down
Your head upon my breast."
I came to Jesus as I was,
So weary, worn, and sad;
I found in Him a resting place,
And He has made me glad. -
1. Redeemer of Israel,
Our only delight,
On whom for a blessing we call,
Our shadow by day
And our pillar by night,
Our King, our Deliv’rer, our all!2. We know he is coming
To gather his sheep
And lead them to Zion in love,
For why in the valley
Of death should they weep
Or in the lone wilderness rove?3. How long we have wandered
As strangers in sin
And cried in the desert for thee!
Our foes have rejoiced
When our sorrows they’ve seen,
But Israel will shortly be free.4. As children of Zion,
Good tidings for us.
The tokens already appear.
Fear not, and be just,
For the kingdom is ours.
The hour of redemption is near.
