448. Now Let the Heavens Be Joyful

1 Now let the heav'ns be joyful,
let earth her song begin,
let all the world keep triumph
and all that is therein.

Refrain:
He is risen! He is risen!
Christ the Lord is risen!
Our joy shall have no end.

2 From death to life eternal,
from earth onto the sky,
our Christ has brought us over
with hymns of victory. [Refrain]

3 Let all things, seen and unseen,
their notes of gladness blend,
for Christ the Lord has risen,
our joy that has no end. [Refrain]
