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 home

    Come 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 voice

    Hosanna, 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 all

    Oh, 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 stand

    He 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 Lord

    Hosanna, 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.
