He Is Risen lyrics

There by the tomb Dug in the ground Mary and the others Had gathered round But on that day He could not be found He is risen, hallelujah Hallelu Oh my sweet love My faithful bride She spoke in hushed whispers On the day that she died She said soon my dear I’ll be by his side Now she is with him, hallelujah Hallelu Oh heart sink not Into that mire Cast off the empty praise For which we men aspire Incline your ear To hear that heavenly choir Sing he is risen, hallelujah Hallelu
