Lift Up, Lift Up Your Voices Now

Lift up

lift up your voic­es now!

The whole wide world re­joic­es now;

The Lord has tri­umphed glo­ri­ous­ly

The Lord shall reign vic­tor­ious­ly.

In vain with stone the cave they barred;

In vain the watch kept ward and guard;

Majestic from the spoil­èd tomb

In pomp of tri­umph Christ is come.

And all He did

and all He bare

He gives us as our own to share;

And hope

and joy and peace be­gin

For Christ has won

and man shall win.

O Vic­tor

aid us in the fight

And lead through death to realms of light;

We safe­ly pass where Thou hast trod;

In Thee we die to rise to God.

Thy flock

from sin and death set free

Glad al­le­lu­ias raise to Thee;

And ever with the heav­en­ly host

Praise Fa­ther

Son

and Ho­ly Ghost.
