Christ has burst his prison, and from three days' sleep in death like the sun has risen. All the winter of our sins, long and dark, is flying; welcome now the light of Christ, give him praise undying. 3 "Alleluia!" now we cry to our King immortal, who, triumphant, burst the bars of the tomb's dark portal; "Alleluia!" with the Son, God the Father praising; "Alleluia!" yet again to the Spirit raising.

We Have Heard The Joyful News

Author: Thomas Kelly Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9615 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 We have heard the joyful news, Now let others hear it; Bear the tidings to the Jews, To the nations bear it. They who know the joyful sound, Never should conceal it; But to all the world around, Far and wide reveal it. 2 Joyful news the Gospel is, And to thought confounding; Wonder, O ye heav’ns, at this: Sing of grace abounding; Grace like this was never known, God our nature wearing; Making human guilt His own, And our sorrows bearing. 3 Spread abroad the joyful sound, Fly in all directions; Speak to men the world around, Men of all complexions; All are sinners, needing grace, God’s own Word has said it; Go with speed to every place, And unwearied spread it. 4 And may He whose grace it is, Give the Word a blessing; Make the conquered nations His, Every ill redressing. May He take the veil away, All the earth o’erspreading; And His mighty power display, All our hopes exceeding. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. KEVIN
