3 Holy Father, Holy Son,
Holy Spirit, Three in One,
Glory, as of old, to Thee,
Now and evermore shall be.
Alleluia! etc.
Music in Young Christian Soldier, Easter, 1869 (see page 183 of this book).
ESUS, our Saviour, we welcome thy rising!
Welcome thy rising from death and the grave!
Hail to the Victor o'er sin and o'er sorrow
Hail to the Prince who is mighty to save!
Jesus is risen! Jesus is risen!
Hail to the Prince who is mighty to save!
2 Seek we, with Mary, the tomb in the garden?
Angels may show us the place where He lay.
Empty the sepulchre ! folded the grave-clothes!
Jesus arose ere the dawning of day!
Jesus is risen! Jesus is risen!
Jesus arose ere the dawning of day!
3 Yet He is near, if we turn when He speaketh,
Calling our names, till we know it is He.
Hands might not touch Him until he ascended
Master, Rabboni, our hearts cling to Thee!
Jesus is risen! Jesus is risen!
Master, Rabboni, our hearts cling to Thee.
4 Welcome to Him, who was dead and who liveth!
Jesus, our Saviour, alive evermore !
Bring we our treasures, and spread them before Him!
Jesus, our Saviour, we love and adore!
Jesus is risen! Jesus is risen!
Jesus, our Saviour, we love and adore!
5 Glory to God in the highest, forever!
Glory to Father and Spirit and Son !
Glory to God, as it was, is, and shall be!
Glory to God! to our God, Three in One!
Jesus is risen! Jesus is risen!
Glory to God! to our God, Three in One!
Music in Parish Hymnal, p. 158.
THE Easter sunshine breaks again
O'er all the sinful earth,
More glorious than the star-lit morn,
We sang of Jesus' birth!
We've watched beside our Saviour's cross,
We've sorrowed at his grave;
But now He's broken Death's dark bands,
Our Jesus strong to save!
2 Fair blossoms on the Easter morn
Fling forth their fragrance sweet,
And tell of Resurrection joy,
And Jesus' work complete!
But fairer still the offering
Each loving heart should bring,
Of faith and love and penitence,
To Christ, its risen King.
3 So on this glorious Easter day
Our gladsome songs we raise,
And echo e'en to heaven's own gates
Our happy notes of praise!
For He who died is risen again,
"The Life, the Truth, the Way!"
Sing on, ye happy Christian hearts,
The Lord is risen to-day!
Music in S. S. Chant and Tune Book, p. 81; Hollister's Service and Tune Book, p. 46; Parish Hymnal, p. 131.
Tell it with a joyful voice;
He has burst his three days' prison,
Let the whole wide earth rejoice :
Death is conquered, man is free
Christ has won the victory.
2 Tell it to the sinners weeping
Over deeds in darkness done,
Weary fast and vigil keeping,
Brightly breaks their Easter sun;
Blood can wash all sins away,
Christ has conquered hell to-day.
3 He is risen! He is risen!
He has oped the eternal gate;
We are free from sin's dark prison,
Risen to a holier state;
Soon a brighter Easter beam
On our longing eyes shall stream.

Music published by E. P. Dutton & Co., N. Y.
ESUS lives! O day of days!
Glad we bring our grateful praise:
He is risen! Gone the gloom,
Angels sit within the tomb.
Vain the taunt of Jew denying,
Vain the vaunt o'er Jesus dying,
Heavenly voices from the grave
Now proclaim his power to save.
- He is risen! Come and see,
How he triumphed mightily;
Conqueror thus o'er all his foes,
Jesus from the dead arose.
2 Lord and Prophet, spake He not?
Have ye his own words forgot,
Telling, while in Galilee,
Thus the victory should be?
How through scorn and dire affliction,
Thorny way and crucifixion,
Vanquished Death, and rent the Grave,
Christ the King should live to save?
CHORUS. He is risen, etc.
3 Tearful to the sepulchre
Mary comes in grief and fear,
Sees the stone now rolled away,
Hears the waiting angels say,
"Why among the dead the living
Seek ye?" Lo! the Lord, life-giving,
Rises! Vain the watch, the grave;
Prince of Life, He lives to save!
CHORUS. He is risen, etc.
4 Welcome, then, the day of days!
Lord, 'tis thine, our tuneful praise;
Thine, for us, the Tempted, Tried,
Thine, for us the Crucified;
Thine, for us the Resurrection;
Thine, the Life, the sure Protection.
Saviour, Sovereign o'er the grave,
May we know thy power to save.
CHORUS. He is risen, etc.
II. 6. 7s & 6s.
Music in Golden Censer, p. 126.
LONG the Church has waited
To hail the coming day,
When its conflicts would be ended,
And sin be put away.
And now that Christ has risen,
It's drawing near us fast,
And soon our warfare here shall cease,
We'll gain the crown at last!
We'll gain the crown at last,
O, gain the crown at last;
The word is sure and we'll endure,
And gain the crown at last -
Yes, we'll gain the crown at last,
Yes, gain the crown at last;
We'll gain the crown, gain the crown,
Gain the crown at last.
2 All hail this joyous morning
That brings to us the word
Of sin's dominion overthrown
Through Jesus Christ our Lord!
We look within his empty tomb
And know all danger's past;
For we shall rise as Jesus rose
And gain the crown at last.
3 And in this hope rejoicing
We'll fearlessly go on;
Counting ourselves as dead to sin,
Alive to God alone.
Into our risen Saviour's tomb
Shall all our sins be cast,
And in his work we'll stand complete
And gain the crown at last.
III. 3. 8s & 7s.
Music in Parish Hymnal, p. 69, or p. 94.
See the King in royal state
EE the Conqueror mounts in triumph,
Riding on the clouds, his chariot,
To his heavenly palace gate:
Hark! the choirs of angel voices
Joyful Alleluias sing,
And the portals high are lifted
To receive their heavenly King.
2 Who is this that comes in glory,
With the trump of jubilee?
Lord of battles, God of armies,
He has gained the victory;
He who on the Cross did suffer,
He who from the
grave arose,
He has vanquished sin and Satan,
He by death has spoiled his foes.
3 While he lifts his hands in blessing,
He is parted from his friends;
While their eager eyes behold Him,
He upon the clouds ascends;
