Refrain: Sing His triumph, tell the wondrous story; Christ has ris’n, oh, tell it o’er and o’er; Christ hath ris’n, the Lord of life and glory, And He lives forevermore. 2 All their watchful zeal, guard and stone and seal, To us now reveal Jesus’ power; Ere the morn awakes, all His bonds He breaks; Life again He takes, blessèd hour! [Refrain] 3 Past the bitter night, with the dawning light, All the tomb is bright—sound His praise; Christ all glorious see, His the victory, To eternity, endless days.
