Tune: Easter Hymn
(\'Jesus Christ is risen today\')
Matthew 28 v.1-10
***********
Christ arisen from the dead - Alleluia!
Now e\'er lives our risen Head - Alleluia!
Two Marys, they came forlorn - Alleluia!
To tomb on the Sunday morn - Alleluia!
Great earthquake, angel descends - Alleluia!
Land does shake and rocks do rend - Alleluia!
Rolled back stone from tomb entrance - Alleluia!
Christ He had arisen thence - Alleluia!
Guards at tomb did shake fro fear - Alleluia!
When the angel did appear - Alleluia!
They became like dead men there - Alleluia!
But Marys they did well fare - Alleluia!
Angel said, Fear not, for you - Alleluia!
Seek Jesus, crucified true - Alleluia!
But He not here, see the place - Alleluia!
Where the Lord lay, here it trace - Alleluia!
Go quickly, tell disciples - Alleluia!
He is risen from dead all - Alleluia!
Goes before to Galilee - Alleluia!
There you shall meet Him, Him see - Alleluia!
They left tomb with awe, great joy - Alleluia!
Nothing did their pursuit cloy - Alleluia!
On the way, Jesus them met - Alleluia!
His \'All hail\' they ne\'er forget - Alleluia!
They held His feet, did worship - Alleluia!
Gave Him praise in life and lip - Alleluia!
Jesus said, Go tell brethren - Alleluia!
See me in Galilee then - Alleluia!
