The earth was filled with peace and light,When Christ arose;The heavens trembled at the sight,When Christ arose;The sea rejoiced along the sands,The vernal valleys clapped their hands,The mountains sang, and all the lands,When Christ arose.The tomb was empty where He lay,When Christ arose;And angels rolled the stone away,When Christ arose;A sound of triumph thrilled the air,The glorious tidings to declare,And there was gladness ev rywhere,When Christ arose.The soul of man was born anew,When Christ arose;The cross divine appeared in view,When Christ arose;A glorious light from heaven streamed,And from the cross a radiance beamed,For ev ry spirit was redeemed,When Christ arose.
