Easter Anthem
Words: Young’s Night Thoughts; 4th Night
Music: Easter Anthem | William Billings
The Lord is ris’n indeed! Hallelujah!
The Lord is ris’n indeed! Hallelujah!
Now is Christ risen from the dead,
And become the first fruits of them that slept.
Now is Christ risen from the dead,
And become the first fruits of them that slept.
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.

And did He rise? And did He rise? Did He rise?
Hear it, ye nations! Hear it, O ye dead!
He rose, He rose, He rose, He rose,
He burst the bars of death,
He burst the bars of death
And triumphed o’er the grave.

Then, then, then I rose,
Then I rose, then I rose, then I rose,
Then first Humanity triumphant
Passed the crystal ports of light,
And seized Eternal Youth.

Man all immortal hail, hail, heaven,
All lavish of strange gifts to man,
Thine’s all the glory,
Man’s the boundless bliss.
Thine’s all the glory,
Man’s the boundless bliss.
