Said the angel, ???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, we are free, Christ has won the victory. Come, ye sad and fearful hearted, With glad smile and radiant brow! Death???s long shadows have departed; All our woes are over now, Due to passion that He bore??? Sin and pain can vex no more. Come, with high and holy hymning, Chant our Lord???s triumphant day; Not one darksome cloud is dimming Yonder glorious morning ray, Breaking over the purple east: Brighter far our Easter feast. He is risen, He is risen! He has 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.
