Tho o,d 20 r;eo,, fro,,, +Lo dood.
Let angels join the song,
By Christ victorious, we are led,
Rent is Deaths bondage strong,
Come see the sepulcher, where Jesus
Was laid so sadly down,
There now a cleaning angel glorious
Proclaims Christ's kingly crown.
Chorus.
Come join the throng,
The song prolong,
That Christ our Lord from death il
free.
The Easter tide is filled with light,
All earth and Heaven sings;
Ye nations raise the standard bright,
For Christ the victory brings;
Crowd back the mass of sin and dark
ness,
Press onward in the fight
An unseen host with strength will arm
us,
And shield us with the right.
Chorus:
The grave has given up it's dead,
Where death is now thy sting?
'Tis even as our Lord hath said;
Loud let the anthem ring;
For Christ our Lord is crowned vic
torious,
And risen from the dead
All Heav'n and earth are now made
glorious.
BY Jesus we are led.
