1 Christ hath arisen!
Death is no more!
Lo! the white-robed ones
Sit by the door.
Dawn, golden morning,
Scatter the night!
Haste, ye disciples glad,
First with the light;
Dawn golden morning,
Scatter the night!
Haste, ye disciples glad,
First with the light.

2 Bread forth in singing,
O world newborn!
Chant the great Easter-tide,
Christ’s holy morn.
Chant Him, young sunbeams,
Dancing in mirth,
Chant, all ye winds of God,
Coursing the earth.
Chant Him, young sunbeams,
Dancing in mirth,
Chant, all ye winds of God,
Coursing the earth.

3 Chant Him, ye laughing flowers
Fresh from the sod;
Chant Him, wild leaping streams,
Praising your God.
Break form thy winter,
Sad heart and sing;
Bud with thy blossoms fair,
Christ is thy Spring.
Break form thy winter,
Sad heart and sing;
Bud with thy blossoms fair,
Christ is thy Spring.

4 Come where the Lord hath lain;
Past is the gloom;
See the full eye of day
Smile through the tomb.
Hark! angel-voices
Fall from the skies:
“Christ hath arisen!”
Glad heart, arise.
Hark! angel-voices
Fall from the skies:
“Christ hath arisen!”
Glad heart, arise.
