He rose and left the grave by Hart Pease Danks — Lyrics
1 Come, see the place where Jesus lay,
And hear angelic watchers say,
"He lives, Who once was slain:
Why seek the living 'midst the dead?
Remember how the Saviour said
That he would rise again."
2 O joyful sound! O glorious hour,
When by His own Almighty power
He rose, and left the grave!
Now let our songs His triumph tell,
Who burst the bands of death and hell,
And ever lives to save.

About He rose and left the grave
This stirring anthem is perfectly suited for Eastertide, celebrating the triumphant resurrection of Christ. The SATB choir powerfully conveys the message of Christ's victory over death, as described in the English text. The lyrics recount the empty tomb, the angelic announcement, and the profound implications of the resurrection for believers. The music aims to capture the joy and assurance found in the knowledge that Jesus lives and will bring eternal life to those who follow Him, ultimately conquering death itself.
