676. Resurrection

They crucified my Lord, Laid Him in the tomb, Now lies the Son of God in death's sable gloom. The Man of grief and toil There in silence lies; Death has within its coil God of earth and skies. But, behold, there was an earthquake, For from heav'n there came an angel, With a countenance like lightning, And a raiment white as snow. When at dawn came Mary Magdalene, "Twas the angel's voice which said: (the voice which said:) "Lo! He is not here, but risen!" Christ is risen from the dead. He who for the world's salvation bled, Now is risen, risen from the dead, Glory, honor we will ever sing, Praise to our risen King. Hallelujah (Hallelujah,) sing, with hearts (sing with hearts to) to heav'n and voices raise, (voices raise, And ever shout,) Ever shout, ye ransomed ones, (ransomed ones,) for you His blood was shed; (for you His blood was shed;) Sing a hymn of gladness, (Sing a hymn of gladness,) sing to God a hymn of praise, (sing to God a hymn of praise,) Christ (Christ, the Lord,) the Lord is ris'n indeed is risen (is ris'n indeed,) from the dead. (is risen from the dead.)
