HE IS RISEN.

If from death Christ were not risen, None could break the bonds of sin. As if helplessly in prison Heaven could not enter in. But He glorious Arose victorious, That free pardon we might win.
If from death Christ were not risen, Filled with sorrow and dismay, To salvation none could listen,— All must ever go astray. But He glorious Arose victorious, Lord of Life, the Truth, the Way.
Thou art risen, mighty Saviour! 'Tis glad tidings evermore; Risen with Thee to God's favor, We will sing Thy praises o'er. Thou, all-glorious Didst rise victorious, In thine own immortal power!
When the gospel of Thy rising Shall illume earth's shadows far, Waked from sleep by light surprising— By the bright and Morning Star, Thy saints glorious Shall rise victorious, Rise to meet thee in the air!
—Messiah's Herald.
