GOTT DES HIMMELS. (8 7. 8 7. 7 7.)
In moderate time 𝅘𝅥 = 120.
H. Albert, 1604–51.
Mrs. C. F. Alexander, 1823–95.
HE is risen, he is risen:
Tell it with a joyful voice;
He has burst his three days' prison;
Let the whole wide earth rejoice.
Death is conquered, man is free,
Christ has won the victory.
2 Come ye sad and fearful-hearted,
With glad smile and radiant brow;
Lent's long shadows have departed,
All his woes are over now,
And the passion that he bore:
Sin and pain can vex no more.
3. Come, with high and holy hymning,
Chant our Lord's triumphant lay;
Not one darksome cloud is dimming
Yonder glorious morning ray,
Breaking o'er the purple East,
Brighter far our Easter-feast.
