Chorus

We sing for joy, we sing for joy, with loving thanks we say: God raised him up our living Lord And made the first Lord's Day

Verse 1

They rolled a stone before the door, As in the grave he lay; God raised him up our living Lord, And made the first Lord's Day

Verse 2

The birds that sang the flow'rs that bloomed, They brought no joy that spring, Till Christ was raised from death to be Our living Lord and King.

Verse 3

All earth is dressed in green this day, To greet our risen Lord: We prasie him for he lives again. He keeps his promised word.
