Hallelujah! Lo, He wakes

Benjamin Schmolck • English

Primary Scripture: Matthew 28:6

Verse 1

Hallelujah! Lo, He wakes! Lives, o'er death and hell victorious; Earth in awe with trembling quakes As the Hero rises glorious; He who died on Golgotha, Jesus lives, Hallelujah! Jesus lives, Hallelujah!

Verse 2

Hallelujah! See the tomb, Ye who o'er His death are pining; Dry your tears, to joy give room, While the radiant sun is shining. Hear the angels' Gloria; Jesus lives, Hallelujah! Jesus lives, Hallelujah!

Verse 3

Hallelujah! Why seek ye Yet among the dead the living? Christ is ris'n in majesty! Hence away with gloomy grieving, Join with her of Magdala: Jesus lives, Hallelujah! Jesus lives, Hallelujah!

Verse 4

Hallelujah then I cry; Christ too will from death restore me, Take me to His throne on high, Whither He has gone before me. Faith exults: Victoria! Jesus lives, Hallelujah! Jesus lives, Hallelujah!
