1. The foe behind, the deep before, | |||
Our hosts have dared and past the sea: | |||
And Pharaoh's warriors strew the shore, | |||
And Israel's ransomed tribes are free. | |||
2. Lift up, lift up your voices now! | |||
The whole wide world rejoices now! | |||
The Lord hath triumphed gloriously: | |||
The Lord shall reign victoriously! | |||
3. Happy morrow, turning sorrow | |||
Into peace and mirth! | |||
Bondage ending, Love descending | |||
O'er the earth! | |||
Seals assuring, guards securing, | |||
Watch His earthly prison: | |||
Seals are shattered, guards are scattered, | |||
Christ hath risen! | |||
4. No longer must the mourners weep, | |||
Nor call departed Christians dead, | |||
For death is hallowed into sleep, | |||
And every grave becomes a bed. | |||

5. Now, once more, Eden's door open | |||
stands to mortal eyes: | |||
For Christ hath risen, | |||
and man shall rise. | |||
Now at last, old things past, | |||
Hope and joy and peace begin: | |||
For Christ hath won, | |||
and man shall win. | |||
6. It is not exile, rest on high: | |||
It is not sadness, peace from strife: | |||
To fall asleep is not to die: | |||
To dwell with Christ is better life. | |||
7. Where our banner leads us, we may safely go. | |||
Where our Chief precedes us, we may face the foe. | |||
His right arm is o'er us, He our guide will be. | |||
Christ hath gone before us: Christians, follow ye! | |||
8. He shall soon deliver from every woe; | |||
Alleluia, if His paths ye tread. | |||
Pleasures, as a river, shall round you flow, | |||
Alleluia, when ye see your Head. | |||

9. With loins upgirt, and staff in hand, | |||
And hasty mein and sandalled feet, | |||
Around the Paschal feast we stand, | |||
And of the Paschal Lamb we eat. | |||
10. So shall He collect us, direct us, | |||
Protect us, from Egypt's strand: | |||
So shall He precede us, and feed us, | |||
And lead us to Canaan's land. | |||
Toils and foes assailing, friends quailing, | |||
hearts failing, shall threat in vain: | |||
If He be providing, presiding, | |||
And guiding to Him again. | |||
11. Christ our Leader, Monarch, Pleader, Interceder, | |||
Praise we and adore: | |||
Exultation, veneration, gratulation, | |||
Bringing evermore. | |||
12. Once despis'd, and once rejected, | |||
Was this Stone: that now elected, | |||
To a Cornerstone perfected | |||
As a glorious trophy stands erected. Amen. | |||
