Author: Carrie Elizabeth Ellis Breck Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #2261 First Line: My blessèd Lord was crucified Refrain First Line: Ring out the bless'd news again! Lyrics: 1. My blessèd Lord was crucified,
The day was dark, and grief was wide,
For hope was crushed and all seemed vain,
Until that Savior rose again.

Ring out the blessèd news again!
Oh! bear aloft the strain;
The mighty Lord is ris’n in power,
He died, but not in vain!

And on His love bids us rely;
He bought our peace through grief and pain;
But oh! He did not die in vain! [Refrain]
3. O, wondrous news of life and love!
That Jesus lives and reigns above!
He made the path to glory plain;
Ah, no! He did not die in vain. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [My blessèd Lord was crucified]
