[The Lord is ris'n indeed! Hallelujah]

[_]

The following poem is scored for music in the source text.

The Lord is ris'n indeed! Hallelujah!
Now is Christ ris'n from the dead,
And become the first-fruit of them that slept.
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.
And did he rise?
hear it, ye nations! hear it, O ye dead!
He rose, he rose, he rose, he rose,
He burst the bars of death!
And triumph'd o'er the grave.
Then, then, then I rose,
then first humanity triumphant past the crystal ports of light,
and seiz'd eternal youth.
Man all immortal hail, hail,
Heaven, all lavish of strange gifts to man,
Thine's all the glory, man's the boundless bliss.
