He is Risen

From the Hymn He is Risen

He is Risen, He is Risen
Tell it with a joyful voice.
Christ has burst the three days’ prison;
Let the whole wide earth rejoice.
Death is conquered, we are free;
Christ has won the victory.

Come, you sad and fearful hearted,
With glad smile and radiant brow.
Death’s dark shadows have departed,
All our woes are over now;
Through the passion that he bore,
Sin and pain have pow’r no more.

Come with high and holy hymning;
Chant our Lord’s triumphant might.
Not one gloomy cloud is dimming
That bright glorious morning light
Breaking o’er the purple east,
Symbol of our Easter feast.

Christ is risen, Christ is risen!
And has opened heaven’s gate.
We are free from evil’s prison,
Risen to a holier state;
And a brighter Easter beam
On our longing eyes shall stream.

    Beautiful and much needed. As always…..after the joy and grace of a good retreat comes the devil with his terrible whisperings. But God sent me your email and it helped. He is such a GOOD Father!!

    Blessings and thanks for a wonderful retreat!
