Hermann Kotzschmar - Angel voices sweetly singing - текст песни (слова)

1. Christ is risen, all triumphant,
 He has risen from the tomb!
 Angel voices sweetly singing
 Banish all our earthly gloom:
 Join the glad song, all ye nations
 Of his great redeeming love,
 Calvary alone could save us
 Christ is smiling from above.
 
 2. He has risen, He is pleading
 For each poor and struggling one;
 Blessed day we hail that dawning,
 Hope shall gild thy rising sun!
 While on earth, reviled, rejected,
 Gain he counted but as loss,
 Hallelujah! he has risen,
 And we bow before the cross.
 
 3. Ring, glad bells your loudest anthems!
 Sounding joy o'ver all the earth:
 Crown the altar now with garlands,
 Let us bow before his worth!
 Christ is risen! joy excelling,
 All olur sorrows flee away,
 And our hearts with joy are beating
 On this blessed Easter day.
 
 4. Let the glad songs now ascending
 Sing our dear Redeemer's name;
 Christ has risen! Christ has risen!
 All our hope is in the same;
 Blessed day that banished darkness,
 At the cross we bow in love,
 Knowing that a risen Saviour 
 Smiles all sweetly from above.
