Classic Poem

Hallelujah, Christ is risen,
To the world the news proclaim!
Over death he rose victorious,
Glory, glory to his name!
Angels rolled the stone asunder,
And he forth a victor came
See the tomb wherein they laid him;
Lo! an angel standing near!
Hear the glorious tidings spoken,
" Lo, thy Master is not here! "
" He is risen! " is the story
Ev'rywhere that greets the ear
To the faithful he appeareth,
Talking with them on the way;
In the chamber now behold him —
Doubting Thomas, see, obey!
Heaven opens to receive him, —
Glory to his name for aye!

Hallelujah! sing of his glory!
He arose for sinners to plead;
Sing his pow'r, his love, and greatness,
Sing, for he is ris'n indeed.
