Sing now, rejoice now, lift voices in song,
Sing, for the Christ is arisen!
Gone is the sadness that held us so long;
Sing alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
See how the stone is now rolled away,
Casting out darkness for ever.
Ring out, O bells, ring with glad Easter joy;
Ring, for the Christ is arisen!
Ev'ry glad cadence and echo employ;
Ring alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
Gone is the shadow of cross and grave;
Banished for ever our sorrow.
Joyful, triumphant, now dawns Easter day;
Sing, for our Lord is arisen!
Christ comes to dwell in our hearts for alway;
Sing and rejoice, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
-Mary E. Caldwell
