He is Risen poem :)

I found this poem online, and I thought I would share it

He is risen! Tell the story,

Spread his Triumph far and wide:

Christ has burst the gates of GLory-

MAn may Enter at his side!

Let Creation joy with singing

as the victor enters in,

many sons to glory bringing-

Souls whom he has died to win!

He is risen! Every Nation,

every soul of every race,

has a share in his salvation,

in his victory has a place:

While today his church rejoices,

raising hallelujahs high,

hear we not uncounted voices

weeping, hopeless, as they die?


We who know him we who bless him,

Shall we bring him but our praise?

Shall our lips alone confess him,

while our hearts heed not his ways?

No! Before his triumph falling,

let us yield him up our all;

" Go ye therefore!" hear him calling,

hear, and answer that dear call .

He is risen! Let us tell it

Till the farthest isles have heard,

till the tribes in worship swell it,

And adore their risen Lord;

Let us rest not till the nations Far and near to him belong;

Till in Easter exultations

All the world shall join our song! - A Poem by Margaret Clarkson
