We are free from sin’s dark pri son,- Ris en- to a ho lier- state;Not one dark some- cloud is dim ming- Yon der- glor ious- morn ing- ray,Death’s long sha dows- have de part- ed;- All our woes are o ver- now,He has burst His three days’ pri son;- Let the whole wide earth re joice:-

And a bright er- East er- beam On our long ing- eyes shall stream.Break ing- over the pur ple- east: Bright er- far our Eas ter- feast.Due to pass ion- that He bore— Sin and pain can vex no more.Death is con quered,- we are free, Christ has won the vic to- ry.-
