Raise your joys and triumphs high;
Death in vain for - bids Him rise;
Once He died, our souls to save:

Sing, ye heav'ns,and earth,re-ply.
Christ has opened Par -a - dise.
Where thy vic-to- ry, O grave? A-men.

4 Soar we now where Christ had led,
Following our exalted Head:
Made like Him, like Him we rise;
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies.

Praise to Thee by both be given:
Thee we greet triumphant now:
Hail, the Resurrection Thou!
