11. Christ Hath Arisen

1 Christ hath arisen! death is no more!
Lo! the white robed ones sit by the door.
Dawn, golden morning! scatter the night!
Haste, ye disciples glad, first with the light.

Refrain:
Glory to God,
Death is no more;
Christ hath arisen,
Chant the wondrous news.

2 Break forth in singing, O world new born!
Chant the great Eastertide, Christ’s holy morn.
Chant Him, young sunbeams, dancing in mirth,
Chant, all ye winds of God, coursing the earth. [Refrain]

3 Chant Him, ye laughing flow’rs fresh from the sod,
Chant Him, wild leaping streams, Praising your God.
Break from the winter, sad heart, and sing;
Bud with thy blossoms fair, Christ is thy spring. [Refrain]

4 Come where the Lord hath lain, past is the gloom;
See the full eye of day smile thro’ the tomb.
Hark! angel voices fall from the skies;
Christ hath arisen, glad heart arise. [Refrain]
