Full Lyrics
The Lord is risen indeed, Hallelujah. (from Luke 24:34)
Now is Christ risen from the dead,
and become the first fruits of them that slept. (1 Corinthians 15:20)
Hallelujah.
And did He rise?
Hear, O ye nations, hear it, O ye dead.
He rose, He burst the bars of death,
He burst the bars of death (Night Thoughts 4:271273)
and triumphed o'er the grave.
[Shout, shout, earth and heaven!
This sum of good to man:
Whose nature then took wing,
and mounted with him from the tomb.]
Then I rose,
then first humanity triumphant passed the crystal ports of light,
and seized eternal youth. (Night Thoughts 4:288293)
Man, all immortal hail, hail,
Heaven, all lavish of strange gifts to man,
Thine's all the glory, man's the boundless bliss. (Night Thoughts 4:298300)
