Tell it with a joyful voice; He hath burst His three days' prison; 2 Come, ye sad and fearful-hearted, 3 Come, with high and holy gladness, Not one touch of twilight sadness 4 He is risen, He is risen! He hath ope'd the eternal gate: Soon a brighter Easter beam On our longing eyes shall stream. 5 Three in One, let all adore Thee, Saints on earth and saints in heaven; Every creature bow before Thee, Who hast all their being given; Who by grace dost us restore, Praise to Thee for evermore.

COME, and let us drink of that New River, Not from barren rock divinely poured, But the Fount of Life that is for ever From the sepulchre of Christ the Lord. All the world hath bright illumination,— Heaven, and earth, and things beneath the earth: 'Tis the festival of all creation : Christ hath risen, who gave creation birth. 3 Yesterday with Thee in burial lying, Amen.
