“He is Risen! He is Risen!”

My favorite line from “He is Risen! He is Risen!” by Cecil F. Alexander is one that makes me want to shout and dance: “Death is conquered, we are free, Christ has won the victory.” No need for despair–HE is victorious, and we have escaped sin’s grasp!

1 Christ is risen, Christ is risen,
tell it out with joyful voice;
Christ has burst his three days’ prison:
let the whole wide earth rejoice!
Death is conquered, we are 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 Christ is risen, Christ is risen;
he hath 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.
