He is Risen lyrics

[Verse 1]
There by the tomb
Dug in the ground
Mary and the others
Had gathered round
But on that day
He could not be found
Oh for He is risen
Hallelujah, Hallelu

[Verse 2]
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”
Oh now she is with Him
Hallelujah, Hallelu

[Verse 3]
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
Oh sing He is risen
Hallelujah, Hallelu
